Is there someone who can tell me what the angle of impact should be from a British HC bomb 2000 lb. that is dropped by a Lancaster bomber from 3000 feet (914 meters) and a speed of about 250 miles/hour (402 km/hour).
Basically, you are asking for the angle between the tangent to the flight path of a projectile at the point of impact and the plane tangent to the struck surface at the point of impact?
Sorry, cant help but i hope there are one or two mathematicians on the forum who may be able to come up with some figures for you.
Any reason you wish to know this?
