Portugal overcame the geographical impossibility of the Madeira Islands by transforming a section of the runway into a massive viaduct, built on 180 concrete columns.
Portugal overcame the geographical impossibility of the Madeira Islands by transforming a section of the runway into a massive viaduct, built on 180 concrete columns.
On Portugal's Madeira Island, the runway, squeezed between mountains and the sea, was extended with a platform built on 180 giant pillars. This radical engineering solution allowed giant aircraft to land safely on the island.
