Tangent Ogive - Tangency Point Calculator
Posted by Dinesh onA tangent ogive nose is often blunted by capping it with a segment of a sphere. The tangency point where the sphere meets the tangent ogive can be found from:
Tangent Ogive - Tangency Point Calculation
Formula:
where,
x0 = Center of the spherical nose cap
rn = Ogive radius
yn = Y-coordinate of the tangency point
xt = X-coordinate of the tangency point
x0 = Center of the spherical nose cap
rn = Ogive radius
yn = Y-coordinate of the tangency point
xt = X-coordinate of the tangency point
