Re: drones, Flight Refueling in the UK had a target-practice UAV called Falconet in the 1980s that launched from a circular runway.
It rested on a dolly secured by a cable to the central post and whirled around until take-off.
I think a couple of installations were built but most customers chose a more conventional rocket-boosted dolly for straight runways.
