Speed, centripetal force, high C of G and narrow tyres suggests this will not end well. ::) ::) ::)

Slight floor in that system, is Planes Take Off and Land into wind, so on that basis about 75% of the circular Runway is never going to be used at any one time.  ::)

Fixed. Different aircraft accelerate/decelerate at different rates so you would need a constantly variable radius.

Not to mention that it would take up sooo much more space than a single 2 mile strip... ::)

Well you can if you land in a straight line, which is how most emergency  landinds tend to work.
