Development of a Dirigible Bomb

Abstract

The theories, principles, and methods of construction and operation of the film analyzer are presented. The object of the film analyzer is to determine the trajectory of the bomb in a set of rectangular coordinates and to determine the orientation of the bomb at any desired point on its trajectory. With this information, the aerodynamic characteristics of the bomb at the high speed can be determined.
