Circular Runway
Good article in the recent issue of AIR & SPACE.
A USN pilot got the idea for a circular runway after experiencing an engine failure and landing on a country road. He proposed the Navy test the idea. He was killed in an accident, but someone carried the ball got the testing approved. The tests were satisfactorily completed with Navy jet fighters at Goodyear's test track. A 10,000 foot banked oval works at low and high speeds. Taladega? Daytona? (What are the other Super Speedways?)
