    ROHN Manufacturing was founded in 1948 by Dwight Rohn, who at the time was manager of the Peoria Airport. The first tower he built was for airport use. [ 1 ] ROHN first began producing antenna towers for home television reception, and subsequently expanded its product line to include the manufacturing of telecommunication towers and other ...

  4. Aeronautical chart conventions (United States) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautical_chart...

    Towers 1,000 feet and over: the "V" is elongated. Groups of towers are shown with multiple symbols; Towers with high-intensity lights are indicated by "lightning bolts" around the tip of the symbol. The elevation of the top of the obstacle is shown feet and depicted in both height above mean sea level and height above ground in parentheses.

  5. Lambert conformal conic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_conformal_conic...

    Pilots use aeronautical charts based on LCC because a straight line drawn on a Lambert conformal conic projection approximates a great-circle route between endpoints for typical flight distances. The US systems of VFR (visual flight rules) sectional charts and terminal area charts are drafted on the LCC with standard parallels at 33°N and 45 ...
