A guidance system and large tail fins are the most basic form of the system, optional folding wings and a rocket motor may be added to increase the stand-off range up to 120 kilometres (75 mi) or add a low-level launch capability. [1] [2] Range using different configurations: Standard bomb kit - 40 km; With folding wing kit - 120 km
The Zuni 5-inch Folding-Fin Aircraft Rocket (FFAR), or simply Zuni, is a 5.0 in (127 mm) unguided rocket developed by the Hunter Douglas Division of Bridgeport Brass Company and deployed by the United States Armed Forces, [1] [2] and the French Air Force. [3] The rocket was developed for both air-to-air and air-to-ground operations.
Zard-Kuh, a fold mountain in the central Zagros range of Iran. When plates collide or undergo subduction (that is, ride one over another), the plates tend to buckle and fold , forming mountains. While volcanic arcs form at oceanic-continental plate boundaries, folding occurs at continental-continental plate boundaries.
The Sevier Fold and Thrust Belt extends from southern California near the Mexican border to Canada. [1] Basin and Range faults cut the older Sevier thrust faults. [4] The Sevier orogeny was preceded by several other mountain-building events including the Nevadan orogeny, the Sonoman orogeny, and the Antler orogeny, and partially overlapped in time and space with the Laramide orogeny.
The ability of the .300 Winchester Magnum chambering to obtain fairly high muzzle velocities, combined with relatively heavy and long very-low-drag bullets, significantly enhance the hit probability at longer ranges and hence the effective range compared to the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge. The AWM chambered for the .300 is fitted with a fluted ...
