Once in place the composite materials are consolidated and hardened by application of heat. The width of the surface of said portable runway may range from 1 meter to 25 meters. Anchoring pegs may be inserted along the edges of said portable runway prior to curing with the thickness of the surface ranging from 1 cm to 50 cm and the areal weight of the surface ranging from 50 grams per square meter (GSM) to 2,000 GSM.
