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.
