airport runway

An airport runway is a long, flat surface where aircraft take off and land. Designed for safety and efficiency, runways are made of durable materials like concrete or asphalt and are marked with lines and lights to guide pilots. They have specific lengths and orientations based on weather patterns and aircraft types. During takeoff, planes accelerate along the runway until they reach enough speed to lift into the air. When landing, pilots use the runway to safely reduce speed and come to a complete stop. Proper maintenance and clear markings ensure safe and efficient aircraft operations.
