Sure, but no modern airport would be able to accommodate these as the wingspans would have to be huge compared to a propelled jet.

- dharmab 4y agoWhat? Gliders fly out of "modern airports" every day. Not to mention large flying wings like NASA Sunglider, B-2s and wide-winged aircraft like the A380 and An-124. Heck, the Mriya was able to operate at many major airports, although with some disruptive considerations when taxiing.
