The earliest landing place of the plane is the grass, usually the circular lawn. Planes can take off and land at any angle and follow the favorable wind direction, and there will be anemometers and hangars around them (because planes at that time were usually made of wood and canvas, they would not be damaged by wind and rain, sun and rain). After that, use the area of soil field to avoid the increase of lawn resistance.

But the soil yard is not suitable for humid climate, otherwise it will be muddy. With the increase of aircraft weight, the requirements for take-off and landing have also increased, and concrete runways have begun to appear. This runway is suitable for any weather and any time.

The oldest airport in the world is controversial at present, but College Park Airport, which was established in 1909 and located in Maryland, USA, is the oldest airport in the world and is still in continuous operation, although it is only a small airport.
