This is a list of the shortest airport runways in the world. While most modern commercial aircraft require a paved runway of at least 6,000 feet (1,800 m) in length, many early aircraft were designed to operate from unprepared strips that could be improvised in small spaces.
A short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft is a conventional fixed-wing aircraft that has short runway requirements for takeoff and landing. Many STOL-designed aircraft also feature various arrangements for use on airstrips with harsh conditions (such as high altitude or ice).
A typical purpose-designed light STOL aircraft, the Zenith STOL CH 701. This is a list of aircraft which are classified as having Short Takeoff and Landing, or STOL, characteristics. The STOL class excludes vertical takeoff and landing types, rotorcraft, aerostats and most light aircraft.
The Short 360 is a 36-seat derivative of the 30–33 seat Short 330. In high density configuration, 39 passengers could be carried. The two Short airliners have a high degree of commonality and are very close in overall dimensions. The later 360 is easily identified by a larger, swept tail unit mounted on a revised rear fuselage.
The Boeing YC-14 is a twinjet short take-off and landing (STOL) tactical military transport aircraft.It was Boeing's entrant into the United States Air Force's Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) competition, which aimed to replace the Lockheed C-130 Hercules as the USAF's standard STOL tactical transport.
The airfield has a very short runway of only 537 metres (1,762 ft) with a gradient of 18.6%. [1] There is no go-around procedure for landings at Courchevel due to the surrounding mountainous terrain. The airfield primarily sees use by smaller fixed-wing aircraft such as the Cessna 208 Caravan or Pilatus PC-12, as well as helicopters.
Silva e Souza says that the company’s current focus is the Energia project, which aims to develop 30-seater hybrid-electric aircraft by 2030, slashing the aircraft carbon emissions by 30% (90% ...
Other 1933 R-2 modifications included a new thicker wing with a longer span of 27.8 ft (8.5 m) and an area of 104 sq ft (9.7 m 2), and Granville's 2-piece, double hinged flaps to aid in getting in and out of very short runways with a full fuel load. The landing speed of the R-2 was cut from 100 to 65 mph (161 to 105 km/h).
