ABSTRACT:
Takeoff, flying, normal landing and emergency landing of aircraft (including space/reentry vehicles as well as airplanes) is improved in respect of minimum speed limits and necessary runway lengths by a control system comprising aspiration of ambient air in a direction counter-current to the relative wind direction established by motion of the craft, these effects preferably further supplemented by a cushioning and sheltering effect established by a grooved runway.
