Put this is in the bizarre category:
The $791 million expanded runway at Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport will slowly slope upward to a height of about 65 feet, an eye-popping design that airport officials said Tuesday will be safe.
The runway rises gradually over a span of 8,000 feet as it heads east, until it reaches its full six-story height and ends abruptly with a retaining wall. Planes will land about 1,500 feet away from the sky-high edge, county consultants said.
...
In addition, Carlos Phillips, an engineer for Delta Air Lines, wrote a letter to the county saying
the carrier reviewed the design and determined the slope “only slightly affects takeoff weights and that most of the missions can still be performed … without significant restriction.’’
