Video: Railgun Blasts an Aerodynamic Round Seven Kilometers Through A Steel Plate
Video: Railgun Blasts an Aerodynamic Round Seven Kilometers Through A Steel Plate
Older railgun projectiles tumbled through the air; this one flies with what can only be called grace By Paul AdamsPosted 04.15.2011 at 3:47 pm37 Comments This amazing video, created by Defense Tech, shows the latest test of General Atomics' high-speed railgun. Where earlier attempts have fired ungainly missiles that tumbled end-over-end through the air like "hypersonic bricks," this one uses a sabot round, which flies straight and smoothly for a distance of seven kilometers, AFTER punching through a solid steel plate. The video is not on youtube so you have to go here to see it. http://www.popsci.com/technology/art...gh-steel-plate
