On a related topic ... I think I read somewhere that during early trials in the 1920s it was found that if the angle of the fins was too large, the resulting spin would cause the bomb to break up. Is this really possible?
Now from what I always figured it is as follows........." For practical purposes, terminal velocity is achieved micro-seconds before detonation !"
To rationalize, I figured that if your the dropper, It ,doesn't matter 'cause it's delivered............If you're the receiver, it doesn't matter if it achieved the optimum velocity............'cause your TOAST ! :tinysmile_shutup_t2
Just my 2 cents worth...........Mike
