Definition of runway

runwaynoun

đường băng

/ˈrʌnweɪ//ˈrʌnweɪ/

The word "runway" has its roots in the early days of aviation. It was originally used to describe the **"run"** a pilot took in a **"way"** before taking off in their aircraft. This was due to the lack of advanced technology, requiring pilots to **literally run** with their aircraft before achieving lift-off. As aviation progressed and the term became synonymous with the designated take-off and landing strip, it has remained in use for over a century.
