Synopsis

Exterior Ballistics A New Approach presents the exterior ballistics of point mass projectiles based on the analytical G drag functions G1 G2 G7 G8 Siacci s G function etc and on the projectile trajectory streamline and Snell s law model that is a fundamental result obtained by applying to the flight of projectiles the postulate of Sir Isaac Newton on the wave nature of moving bodies and his interpretation of the Snell s law on refraction of waves The impressive outcomes obtained solving exterior ballistics problems employing Snell s law demonstrate that the flight of objects can be quantitatively described using wave properties of particles The WONDERS of Using Snell s Law in Exterior Ballistics Exterior Ballistics A New Approach is a unique book in the literature of exterior ballistics for the original methods introduced to solve the exterior ballistics problems and particularly for the use of Snell s law in exterior ballistics Backed with in depth discussions based on comprehensive research and study Exterior Ballistics A New Approach provides original solutions in solving exterior ballistics problems especially employing the projectile trajectory streamline and Snell s law model The use of Snell s law simplifies the ballistics calculations reducing them to simple mathematics operations Exterior Ballistics A New Approach is an excellent reference book that provides answers to problems encountered in the practice of motion of unguided projectiles fired by artillery and small arms The book has around 80 solved exterior ballistics problems that illustrate the theoretical topics guide and help the reader to solve similar and new ballistics problems There are included four compact types of original universal PC programs that enable the reader to solve any exterior ballistics problem as well as the ballistics problems related with fire control of unguided projectiles Exterior Ballistics A New Approach is an informative book highly recommend
