ANALYSIS OF MISSILE LAUNCHERS. PART 02 CURVATURE IN RIGID RAIL LAUNCHERS MODELS

Abstract

An analysis of the single degree of freedom model of rigid rail launchers including the effects of arbitrary rail curvature and tipoff is presented. The equations are put in a form suitable for solution by analog computer and some illustrative numerical results are presented. (Author)
