ABSTRACT:
A control system includes at least one guiding device including a long range guiding water jet generator having a plurality of first nozzles each projecting a jet of water upwardly and a first illumination apparatus projecting a plurality of beams of light upwardly each in concert with the jet of water projected from each of the first nozzles so as to guide the flight vehicle along a predetermined direction when the flight vehicle is located at a longer distance relative to the guiding device and a short range guiding water jet generator having a plurality of second nozzles each projecting a jet of water upwardly and a second illumination apparatus projecting a plurality of beams of light upwardly each in concert with the jet of water projected from each of the second nozzles so as to guide the flight vehicle along the predetermined direction when the flight vehicle is located at a shorter distance relative to the guiding device. At least one support water jet generator includes a third nozzle projecting a jet of pressurized water upwardly for supporting the flight vehicle when landing.
