ABSTRACT:
A method of improving the guiding of reaction driven flying bodies for ground-to-ground utilization and a device for practicing the method in which the distance between a target point and a launching point is determined, as by observation, and a flying body such as a rocket is launched from the launching point while the flight thereof is controlled in conformity with the position of the flying body which latter is determined by detecting radiation given off by the reaction drive of the body. The path of the flying body is controlled so that, upon launching the body from the launching point, the path of the body diverges upwardly from a line joining the launching point and target point and then converges with the line and then follows the line to the target point. The flying body has a steering or guiding mechanism therein to which signals are supplied by a wire leading from a computer that receives a signal corresponding to the target distance and a signal corresponding to the position of the flying body while a timer starts running at the instant of launching of the flying body controls the operation of the computer.
