“…A good example is development of a new very large light-gas gun at AEDC. [18] Their current method-ofcharacteristics code for evaluating light-gas gun performance was used to evaluate the performance of a light-gas gun with a 355-mm (14-inch) diameter pump tube that is 30.5-m. long. It was found that launches requiring unusually low peak acceleration (below 80,000 g) were possible from launch tubes 83-mm (3.3-inches) in diameter and 30.5-m (100-ft) long at velocities up to 6.4 km/s.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
