ENGINEERING DESIGN HANDBOOK. TRAJECTORIES, DIFFERENTIAL EFFECTS, AND DATA FOR PROJECTILES

Abstract

The pamphlet pertains to that phase of projectile life starting at the gun muzzle (or, for a rocket, at burnout) and ending at the point of burst or impact. The subject is covered in a manner intended primarily to assist the ammunition designer in recognizing and dealing with the design parameters of projectile weight, shape, muzzle velocity, yaw, drag and stability, in designing for optimum results in range, time of flight and accuracy.
