Optimum range of a wingless rocket about a rotating earth
The motion of a wingless rocket in a vacuum about a spherical non-rotating earth describes the elliptic orbit of a material point of mass in a central field of force. The corrections for the rotation of the earth are applied to this solution to determine the effects on optimum range. Since there is...
