Errors in the Trail Resulting from Ignoring Either the Measured Time of Flight or the Measured Range
Abstract
Expressions for the errors in the trail, range, deflection and time of flight resulting from ignoring either the measured time of flight or the measured range are deduced. Results of calculations of the resulting errors in trail, time of flight, range and deflection for the bomb M38A2 are presented. The desirability of the introduction of a ballistic coefficient, based on trail, is mentioned. The reality and the sources of the discrepancy between the ballistic coefficients deduced from range and time of flight respectively are discussed.
