Mk. 36 Sidewinder motor
The AIM-9 Sidewinder is one of the world's most widely used air-to-air
missiles, and at its core is a reliable rocket motor that can take all
sorts of operational abuse. Shown is the AIM-9X, an improved version of
the missile with a better heatseeking head and a thrust vectoring nozzle.
