Perhaps all future aircraft could be designed with a rather stronger port wing, equipped with a rather large 'loop' at the end.....instead of those 'winglet' thingies....

And the 'Runway' be equipped with a rather large rotating 'hook'.....
You get the idea..??

Just like the old model aeroplanes on the end of the wires...and....the 'flare' could even be controlled by a 'flare controller' on the ground...in the middle of course....

Only one at a time though chaps and chapesses, no 'overtaking' possible.

Makes as much 'sense' to moi....

Cheers

p.s. Hmmm.... Re 'A Dutch gentleman is proposing a banked circular runway'....Isn't Amsterdam the place where smoking 'pot' is perfectly legal..??
Hmmm.....
