I think it's an interesting idea. It's different for sure. If this guy has been studying it for as long as he claims he has, and has done lots of simulations and still seems to think it is a good idea, I think it's worth keeping an open mind about. I assume pilots are good enough that if they can land in a crosswind, they can land with one wing dipped slightly on this thing. After a while, it would be second nature.

Air traffic controllers would have a tougher job. The larger the circle is though, the easier that job would get.

I wonder what his answer would be to a plane coming out of the circle on takeoff on a path that comes close to one landing?
