Apex-target condition for a ballistic jet
ID: apex-target-condition-for-a-ballistic-jet
For a jet arriving horizontally at a target displaced horizontally by w and upward by h, the target lies at the projectile apex. Vertical kinematics gives and flight time ; the horizontal travel then fixes the displayed . The launch speed is and . The ideal ballistic approximation neglects air drag, breakup and internal jet stresses after launch.
