Pulled outward by centrifugal force and downward by gravity, a fast-rolling plane would be confined to a circular path high against the outer, steeply sloping part of the runway. As its speed decreased, centrifugal force would lessen, and gravity would pull it in a slowly descending spiral toward the lower, more horizontal section...
