Skydweller: On the edge of perpetual flight

Clay Pearce and Austin Saunders work at Skydweller Aero, a cutting-edge aerospace company based in Oklahoma City that is developing a new class of unmanned aircraft. With the right training, Saunders said, you can find a rewarding and exciting career in Oklahoma’s growing aerospace industry. “We’re designing something new and cutting edge,” he said. “We’re working with solar power technology and we’re designing a plane that doesn’t exist yet.”

King Fahd International Airport

King Fahd International Airport (KFIA) is located 20 kilometers northwest of Dammam, Saudi Arabia. It is the largest airport in the world in terms of land area (780 km²). The airport's basic infrastructure was complete by the end of 1990, which allowed the Allied forces engaged in the first Gulf War in early 1991 to use the field for the storage of military aircraft. The General Authority of Civil Aviation of Saudi Arabia finally opened the new Dammam King Fahd International Airport on November 28, 1999 to commercial traffic, and all airlines transferred their operations from Dhahran airport, which had been in use until then.
