Grand slam : a detail
I forgot to mention that the Grand Slam bomb -according to what I read - reached a supersonic velocity thanks to its aerodynamic form and its enormous weight. The kinetic energy alone was terrific.
It would be interesting to know the final velocity of ordinary bombs like 500 and 1,000 lbs dropped high enough. Last edited by Grozibou; 11th August 2008 at 11:25.
