Sedona Airport from the south, showing its location atop a mesa. The airport was inaugurated in 1955. At that time it had no paved runway, and animals such as coyotes could be seen walking around the air-strip. This proved dangerous to pilots arriving at Sedona. By 1957, a small, paved runway had been built. [6]
Stellar Airpark covers an area of 200 acres (81 ha).It has one asphalt paved runway, 17/35, measuring 4417 x 80 ft (1346 x 24m). [4]For the 12-month period ending April 14, 2021, the airport had an average of 110 aircraft operations per day, roughly 40,150, all of which were general aviation.
The Titan Missile Museum, also known as Air Force Facility Missile Site 8 or as Titan II ICBM Site 571-7, is a former ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) site located about 40 km (25 mi) [3] south of Tucson, Arizona in the United States. It was constructed in 1963 and deactivated in 1984.
The guidance systems, the KMU-353 and KMU-390, were essentially re-packaged Maverick A-model seekers, while the KMU-359/B used the later IR imager version from the D-model Mavericks. When completely assembled, the seeker, guidance system and bomb were known as the GBU-8 , or GBU-9 when used with the 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg) Mark 118 bomb . [ 7 ]
Semi-active radar homing (SARH) is a common type of missile guidance system, perhaps the most common type for longer-range air-to-air and surface-to-air missile systems. The name refers to the fact that the missile itself is only a passive detector of a radar signal—provided by an external ("offboard") source—as it reflects off the target [1] [2] (in contrast to active radar homing, which ...
Sedona Airport, in Arizona's Verde Valley, is one of the many airports that operate without a control tower.. In aviation, a non-towered airport is an airport without a control tower, or air traffic control (ATC) unit.
Guidance, navigation and control (abbreviated GNC, GN&C, or G&C) is a branch of engineering dealing with the design of systems to control the movement of vehicles, especially, automobiles, ships, aircraft, and spacecraft. In many cases these functions can be performed by trained humans.
The steerable parachute or parafoil is called a "decelerator," and gives the JPADS system directional control throughout its descent by means of decelerator steering lines attached to the Autonomous Guidance Unit (AGU). They create drag on either side of the decelerator, which turns the parachute, thus achieving directional control.
