|    Are there "Preferred" Trajectories?    |

      From: dos4004@gmail.com              Let's say a torch missile (or anything) is on an intercept trajectory towards       a target.       If the target makes a burn to counter, would it necessary take the same amount       of delta-v for the missile to keep the intercept?              I suspect that it's a tradeoff between efficiency of plane changes and oberth       effect gains.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
