landing strip

Where planes touch

A landing strip is a cleared stretch of ground where aircraft can take off and land—typically smaller and less developed than a full runway at an airport.

The term also refers to a style of pubic hair grooming: a narrow vertical strip of hair left above the genitals, with surrounding areas shaved or waxed.
