As I said, I am taking care of drag on my own. And I am not asking about how big the impact is going to be (but as the angular velocity is going to be big the effect will be noticeable), but how to include it in equations of motion if I know it's position in comparison to the airplane's center...

Ok. Even if the 'bomb' is stiffly attached to the airplane but the airplane has the angular velocity (and since the bomb is not attached in the centre of gravity), the bomb will gain extra acceleration due to centrifugal force. And I just want to know how to deal with it, given the distance from...

I am designing an UAV (for competition) which has to drop a package near the given location. I haven't decided yet on how to attach the 'bomb' however I know that it is going to be some kind of a 'hook' so it's not going to be stiff and since at the moment of drop aircraft is going to have big...

I am also taking care of the 6th approximation, I've given it just not to mess up the picture. Let say bomb is not stiffly attached but has some freedom of movement then how can I include this? (Angular velocities cause only additional acceleration of the bomb (as the bomb is attached at some...

Homework Statement I want to derive an equation for the place where airdropped bomb is going to hit the ground. Known data at the moment of drop: 1) position [x,y,z] also and the pitch angle (between the airplane's axis and the ground - we assume that Earth is flat) 2) linear and angular...
