Best Answer

Not all need a long runway. The take off length depends on a number of factored such as weather wind speed, weight of aircraft, power of engines.

Why is a runway so long?

The length of a runway is based on the takeoff and landing needs of the aircraft that will use it. Airports that service large commercial jetliners will typically have much longer runways than airports that only service small private jets or propeller driven planes. That is because smaller aircraft typically require less distance to takeoff and land than larger, heavier aircraft. The length of any given runway will also take into consideration factors such as potential bad weather such as wind, rain, ice, and snow. Runways often have a built-in margin of safety to allow for circumstances such as a pilot over shooting the landing area, engine failure, or mechanical problems such as blown tires or faulty landing gear.


How long does it take the SR-71 blackbird take to takeoff?

It is like any other jet aircraft. So it needs the same space for landing. The landing strip should be atleast 1-2 km long.


Why was it hard for bombers to take off from aircraft carriers?

Bombers were designed to take off and land on full runways with the assumption that the runway would be long enough to deal with variations in pilot skill and takeoff and landing positions.Taking off and landing on an aircraft was not as forgiving:Not reaching takeoff speed at the end of the ship meant ditching in the water. There was no opportunity to turn around and try again.Touching down too late on the ship also could mean not stopping in time and ditching in the water.Trying to touch down too early meant hitting the ship.

Is there a standard that specifies how long must the runway at the airport so that it can land any aircraft?

No, not really. The only real way a airport could land any aircraft would be to have a 4 mile or longer runway. However, the problem for most aircraft is not as much landing as much as taking off, which could require a 30% longer runway.

Yes, as long as it is powered off (many phones come with a flight mode that ensures no scrambling of signal, but all electronics must be turned off anyway for landing and takeoff)

How does the rocket land on the earth?

It doesn't, the shuttle with the crew in it glides back to earth, hence needing a long runway to come to a stop. If 'a' rocket was landing on earth... Crash or use a parachute to slow it down
