Airplanes can be able to approach and take off from any direction around the proposed circular terminal, and can't have to fight against crosswinds. With a central automated circular terminal, the airport would use about a third of the land and half of the cost from the typical airport with the same airplane capacity. At the mean time three planes would be able to take off or land at the same time and plane noise can be tolerable due to distributed flight paths. We have calculated the load factor during a turn, force applied on an aircraft in a banked turn and landing considering friction which may be a solution to the above problems. In this paper we have discussed about various aspects of a circular runway and how it can be implemented in the present time. By deep analysis, we can say circular airports can actually be the most effective, alternative way to replace the existing airports and at the same time it is cost- effective.
