Innovative commercial aircraft does not need runway

The world seems fixated on aircraft design. Turbines pushing air backwards, wheels designed for safe landing on runways. The conventional design needs long runways that are expensive to acquire, develop and maintain. Passenger risk is higher with conventional design, and people are praying to God while landing.
Think out of the box, to design a commercial aircraft that can land vertically down (aircraft remaining horizontal during landing) with well controlled descent using some unconventonal techniques that I can imagine.
This is a global design challenge !
Let us see who moves faster in this direction

Idea on wind turbine design

Hi,
I have had some business interest in the wind turbines, and hence came across this funny fact.
A good turbine cannot tap more than 30-40 % of the available wind. What a poor, inefficient design!! Please come out of the term "turbine" and try to imagine a radical new design to increase the capacity to tap the available energy. To me, it is possible to make a remarkably efficient wind tapping device. I do have the idea. For further details, please contact me
Best wishes
