I've read about an experimental circular runway being built in the USA
during the '20s or '30s:
Speaking of which, I've been wondering how easy it would be to land in
a curved field. Is there much special technique to landing on a
curved field with trees on the sides? I suppose the biggest challenge
would be to touch down at the right spot tangent to the curve and keep
the right bank angle in through the pattern all the way to the stop.
Suppose somebody could try it on a big square field.
Not dragging the inside wing would be the biggest challenge, maybe a
high wing glider like a K-8 would be easier.
