TRAJECTORY ADJUSTMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053127 titled 'TRAJECTORY ADJUSTMENTS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for regulating the trajectory of a projectile by adjusting the position of a mass within a cavity defined by a jacket of the projectile to modify the center of gravity.
- The method involves adjusting the position of a mass within a cavity in the projectile's jacket.
- This adjustment helps modify the center of gravity of the projectile.
- By modifying the center of gravity, the trajectory of the projectile can be regulated.
Potential Applications
- Military applications for precision-guided projectiles.
- Sports applications for improving accuracy in shooting sports.
Problems Solved
- Inaccuracy in projectile trajectory.
- Lack of control over the projectile's flight path.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in shooting.
- Enhanced precision in military operations.
Original Abstract Submitted
in some example, a method for regulating a trajectory of a projectile comprises adjusting the position of a mass within a cavity defined by a jacket of the projectile, whereby to modify a centre of gravity of the projectile.
