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.
GAF Nomad of the Philippine Air Force. Many fixed-wing STOL aircraft are bush planes, though some, like the de Havilland Canada Dash-7, are designed for use on prepared airstrips; likewise, many STOL aircraft are taildraggers, though there are exceptions like the PAC P-750 XSTOL, the Quest Kodiak, the de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter and the Peterson 260SE.

Aircraft operations at North County doubled from 2008 to 2021 and are expected to reach more than 110,000 annually by 2030 if the runway is extended, the report said. The project is scheduled to ...
In aviation, a balanced field takeoff is a condition where the takeoff distance required (TODR) with one engine inoperative and the accelerate-stop distance are equal for the aircraft weight, engine thrust, aircraft configuration and runway condition. [1] For a given aircraft weight, engine thrust, aircraft configuration, and runway condition ...
It's the shorter of two runways at the airport — 4,806 feet by 100 feet compared to the larger runway 6-24 at 6,802 feet by 150 feet — and is a crosswind runway, designed to facilitate ...
The Short C-23 Sherpa is a small military transport aircraft built by Short Brothers. It was designed to operate from unpaved runways and make short takeoff and landings (STOL). [1] It features a large squared fuselage with a full-width rear cargo door/ramp.
Hence V/STOL aircraft generally use a runway if it is available. I.e. short takeoff and vertical landing or conventional takeoff and landing operation is preferred to VTOL operation. V/STOL was developed to allow fast jets to be operated from clearings in forests, from very short runways, and from small aircraft carriers that would previously ...
