Found it

Now if I can get access to it or get someone to take some measurements
It is the fin section of an Aerobee 150 . It was converted into a lobby table at a museum in California

I think I would have a better chance of meeting the Pope than getting measurements of the fins

Attached is a photo of the fin can table and it was taken by

Steve Jurvetson from Los Altos, Ca

Maybe someone at the museum would snap a good shot and send it?

Wow! I want that in my living room!

What about https://www.jcrocket.com/aerobee.shtml

Which has a snapshot of the dims from Peter Alway's Rockets of the World - which is a pretty reliable source of dimensions yeah?

[ljwilley]

Peter Alaway's blueprints are almost always accurate. I would say that is a good source!

 

[bobby_hamill]

The fin I am trying to get data for has a "notch" at the bottom not a straight edge
The Aerobee 150A has the straight edge the Aerobee 150 has the "notch"

Aerobee 150A had 4 fins with no notch

Aerobee 150 had 3 fins with a notch

That is was what I was looking for. I didn't know there was info in the book for the Aerobee 300 with
the 150 sustainer.
Also on this Aerobee 300 flight 6.10GA the 150 sustainer only had 2 fins that had antennas on them not all 3

@ rcktnut thanks for pointing that out for me

​

 

[rcktnut]

You are welcome, do you have the book?

 

[bobby_hamill]

not yet but I need to get a copy

Here are some photos taken at White Sands in 2001. I counted 4 Aerobee variants but I only got photos of 3 of them.

@bjphoenix

Thanks for the photos. The upright Aerobee 150 is the one I am concentrating on.

[mikeyd]

you might ask the Cosmospher in Hutchinson KS, as they can probably give you the dimensions.

Mike
If you are referring to the red,white and black Aerobee hanging from the ceiling that looks like an Aerobee 100 Rocket.
But thanks for the referral to the Cosmospher

Cosomsphere is doing some remodeling. Son in law lifted some of the displays.

I used the information from Peter Alway's book to build this semi-scale Aerobee using parts from an Estes HiFlier XL kit.
