[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 177485, member: 1622"] Blimey. Catshooter, What you are signally failing to understand is that it is the overturning moment itself that, through the process of gyroscopic stabilisation, ultimately causes a correctly spun projectile's nose to broadly follow the trajectory. Can't stop to type more; I have to get a signal off to recall all the artillery point detonating fuzes we've been mistakenly using all these years. Apparently the shells always land on their sides! ...an unknown ballistic expert has chosen LRH to release stunning new theories that projectiles always land at the same angle as they were launched.. ..this ballistic expert has discovered that at 19km, 155 shells are point 43 degrees up in the air when they land. At 24.7km, they're landing pointing 47 degrees in the air. ...better recall all the forward looking radar fuzes too...they won't be sensing the ground if the shells are coming in looking 47 degrees up in the air. Good thing he's pointed it out. ...and while I'm at it, recall all the 6DOF ballistic programs, the shells aren't adopting a yaw of repose either. ...apparently they're just rolling sideways. ...and the Earth is flat.
