[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1011396, member: 176704"] There is a "circular argument" (as Excel might sometimes tell you) as to whether it would, or would not, work in practice - but with modern computing techniques it should be "doable" (and previous flying tests appear to show that it could be). As one who once experienced an attempted landing in very strong crosswinds (Gatwick at the very height of the 1988 "hurricane" that "that weather forecaster" said was not going to happen), anything that makes airport operations in adverse conditions safer and less frightening would be very welcome. OTOH, I would not want them to try to build such a runway at Heathrow - the airport perimeter would be almost on my doorstep! [/QUOTE]
