Wikipedia

  1. Runway

    According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a runway is a "defined rectangular area on a land aerodrome prepared for the landing and takeoff of aircraft". Runways may be a man-made surface (often asphalt, concrete, or a mixture of both) or a natural surface (grass, dirt, gravel, ice, sand or salt). Runways, as well as taxiways and ramps, are sometimes referred to as "tarmac", though very few runways are built using tarmac. Takeoff and landing areas defined on the surface of water for seaplanes are generally referred to as waterways. Runway lengths are now commonly given in meters worldwide, except in North America where feet are commonly used.

Examples of Runway in a Sentence

  1. Model Sara Sampaio:

    I really don’t think we should label models as 'plus' or 'runway'. Models are people.A lot of people like to make us some species that are not human, we are normal people, this is a whole production.... It’s not like I wake up like this. There is makeup, there is hair, and there is the perfect light.There is a whole team that gets you to get that perfect picture. It’s a fantasy.

    Ben Stiller said of Chanel's creative director. It breaks my heart. Maybe if we ever do another. WATCH : Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson Walk the Valentino Runway as Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB- and Hansel Marc Jacobs, however, was more than happy to play Hansel Marc Jacobs in the comedy. I was thrilled to say yes to Ben Stiller, i thought the first one was hilarious. The Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB- franchise, which debuted in theaters 15 years ago, is special for Ben Stiller, whoprefers the daft model to reamin a part of Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB- legacy over Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB- other on-screen, persona, Greg Focker inMeet the Parents. I ’d much rather have somebody say, ‘ Hey, Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB-, ’ than ‘ Hey, Greg Focker,' he quipped. MORE : Justin Theroux Responds to Zoolander 2 Transphobia Controversy --' It Hurts My Feelings' The director/actor also revealed how he came up with the character's iconic Blue Steel pose. That look came out of me in the mirror at home, when I brush my hair or whatever, Ben Stiller recalled. I guess with the selfie culture, it’s just a natural extension. Did I have any idea that it would live on ? No. Although Ben Stiller and Penelope Cruz is new to the Zoolander world but has always been a fan of the comedy.

  4. Sam Rogers:
