What is a key characteristic of open V runways?

Open V runways are designed to optimize airfield capacity by allowing for simultaneous takeoffs and landings. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in conditions with little to no wind, as the configuration of the runways can facilitate more efficient operations. In clear weather, aircraft can utilize the runway layouts more effectively, leading to better traffic management and reduced delays.

In contrast, the other characteristics do not fully describe the benefits of open V runways. While they may be able to support various types of aircraft and operations, their primary advantage lies in their ability to increase capacity, particularly in optimal weather conditions.
