Notes, that has already been the subject of discussion. Not viable and too short. That airport has non standard safety distances from the motorway already as its military. I know as I've flown in and out of there.
ReoninV, if you think a new tech can just be plucked out of thin air, you must be simple. The engineering involved in making a lightweight aluminium or composite tube do 800Km/h and 45000 feet in up to minus -75 degrees celsius and get a full load of pax at off the runway in Dubai at 570 tonnes is staggering. Everyday the engineers at Boeing, Airbus and smaller companies are working the engineering and economics to improve on the competition. Makes making a fuel cell first developed in 1883 seem simple and they aren't even commercial yet...
No more from me as off topic.
