Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Sketch illustrating the principle of dive bombing. The dashed line is the flight path of the aircraft (that is, the extension of its longitudinal axis) while the continuous line is the parabolic trajectory of the fall of the bomb. In traditional bombing (top), the bomb's point of impact is influenced by many factors, including the aircraft's speed and altitude at the time of the release; therefore, without sophisticated aiming devices this technique generally inaccurate. In dive bombing, the bomb is falling almost exactly in front of the aircraft and the pilot has the point of impact almost exactly in his sight (more exactly, as the angle of the dive approaches -90°). After dropping the bomb, the pilot maneuvers to get back to a sufficient altitude. Since the fall of the bomb is only slightly affected by the speed and altitude of the aircraft at the time of dropping, dive bombing is generally very accurate.
Italiano: Schema illustrativo del funzionamento della tecnica del bombardamento in picchiata. La linea tratteggiata rappresenta il prolungamento dell'asse longitudinale del velivolo, cioè la linea di volo, mentre la linea continua rappresenta la traiettoria parabolica lungo cui cade la bomba. Nel caso del bombardamento tradizionale (in alto) il punto di impatto della bomba è influenzato da fattori come la velocità e la quota, che (a meno di disporre di sistemi di puntamento sofisticati) lo rendono in generale impreciso. Nel caso del bombardamento in picchiata (in basso) il punto in cui cade l'ordigno è quasi esattamente di fronte al pilota, che al momento dello sgancio vede il bersaglio in una posizione tanto più vicina al centro del suo mirino quanto più l'angolo della picchiata si avvicina alla verticale. (Dopo aver sganciato la bomba, il pilota esegue una richiamata e si riporta in altitudine). Poiché la caduta della bomba non è influenzata che in misura trascurabile da velocità e quota, il bombardamento in picchiata è in generale molto preciso. |
