	Patent 4457233: Aerial bomb
		Aerial bombs of the general type to which the present invention pertains are known in the art and embody a variety of structures.
		In general, an aerial bomb according to the present invention comprises a shotgun shell hull or casing, a base for the shotgun shell hull enclosing one end thereof, and a shotshell primer.
		In use, the aerial bomb of the present invention is loaded into a conventional shotgun and the trigger is pulled to cause the firing pin of the gun to strike the shotgun primer 60.

	Is Aerial Warfare Doomed?
		Cities and enemy military positions are to be demolished with bombs and poison gas hurled from the sky, with the odds for victory 100 per cent in favor of the aerial attacking forces.
		They close their eyes to the fact that no aerial bombing can be effective unless the aviators can clearly see the target they are trying to hit it is a well-established fact that any bomb-dropping from an altitude of more than about 4000 feet is notoriously inaccurate.
		The aerial bomb is dropped at a target and hitting the target is largely a matter of guesswork.

		The bomb bay doors were removed and the roof of the bomb bay was remodeled from a flat deck to an inverted V shape to accommodate the oversized Grand Slam.
		Slings run under the bomb casing were connected to four initial lift cylinders that raised the bomb from ground level to a sufficient height to permit the 5,000lb main lift cylinder carriage to be moved underneath.
		At least one bomb with a T104 assembly was recovered from the hardpan at Edwards AFB after a test drop from 25,000 ft at 300 mph TAS for analysis of the angle of entry, depth of penetration and path through the ground.

		A more particular object is to provide in a re-usable model aircraft bomb a means of interlocking two bomb body forming sections to maintain the integrity of the bomb configuration notwithstanding positive and negative G-loads, while at the same time affording break-apart capability of the bomb on impact.
		A re-usable aerial bomb simulating device in accordance with the present invention includes a hollow break-apart main body portion, which may be filled with powder to be dispersed upon impact in a cloud of smoke after the device has been dropped from a model aircraft suitably equipped with a bomb carriage and release mechanism.
		The bomb includes a main body 12 of generally cylindrical shape, the front of which is in the form of a parabolic hemisphere forming a round nose.

		Like a regular bomb, a smart bomb falls to the target solely by the force of gravity, but its fins or wings have control surfaces that move in response to guidance commands, enabling adjustments to be made to the angle of the bomb's descent or the direction of its fall.

		The conventional aerial bomb consists of an explosive or chemical agent in a container, one or several fuse-and-igniter mechanisms, and external fins for directional stability.
		The hydrogen bomb, or H-bomb, is a nuclear weapon in which light atomic nuclei of hydrogen are joined together in an uncontrolled nuclear FUSION reaction to release tremendous amounts of energy.
		Such a bomb combines the principles of the super and the booster: a fission explosion ignites a fusion reaction that in turn causes the fissioning of the bomb's uranium casing.

		A glide bomb is an aerial bomb that is modified with aerodynamic surfaces to modify its flight path from a purely ballistic[?] one, to a flatter, gliding, one.
		The first glide bombs were developed by the Germans during World War II as an anti-shipping weapon.
		The bomb aimer dropped the bomb while the aircraft was still approaching the ship, and guided it into an impact with the target by sending commands to spoilers attached to the rear of the bomb.

		We heard of the bombs on a UN mine-removal office in Kabul, we heard of the two strikes on Herat, and we heard about the bombing of the CNN (Communist News Networks, according to some Republicans!) offices in Kandahar as well as the Al-Jazeera network office.
		To say that the civilian deaths from aerial bombardment are unintentional is sophistry, because if there is a probability that the bombs will hit civilian targets, then ipso facto the civilian deaths are not unintentional.
		They knew that bombs such as these are used basically against those of color, those who are already subhuman to Europe-US, seen to require the rod for discipline, seen to be a civilization apart.

	An Analytical Approach to Assessing the Vulnerability of Bomb Shelters to Aerial Bombing and Artillery Attack - ...
		Abstract: This study examines the vulnerability of bomb shelters to aerial bombing and artillery attack, by modelling the bomb dump, i.e., the area within which the bomb shelters are located, as a cellular target.
		The stochastic process of hitting the dump with aerial bombs or artillery shells is modelled using suitable probability distributions, depending on the scenarios.
		Two measures of effectiveness are used: (1) The expected proportion of damage to the bomb dump by n weapons (bombs or shells) that are directed at the bomb dump, and (2) The probability that the ith shelter will be damaged due to an attack by n weapons that are directed at the bomb dump.

		An implosion bomb (involving implosion-triggered plutonium fission), it had a higher yield, was lighter, and had improved ballistic (flying) characteristics.
		It could be carried internally on B-29, B-36, B-47, B-50, and B-52 aircraft, and the bombardier could set the height above ground of the explosion while the aircraft was in flight.

	Remote Piloted Aerial Vehicles : The 'Aerial Target' and 'Aerial Torpedo' in Germany
		The German V1 flying bomb, or 'buzz' bomb, known originally as the Fieseler Fi 103, FZG 76, was the first of the Vergeltungswaffen ("weapons of vengeance," named in response to Allied air assaults on Germany during World War II).
		Development of reaction-propulsion by the Germans for eventual application to military uses was started soon after WWI to evade the terms of the Treaty of Versailles which forbade Germany to develop certain classes of internal-combustion reciprocating motors.
		By 1945, however, the attitude toward using the flying bomb had changed so much that only criminals or pilots who were in a depressed state or were ill would be allowed to fly Reichenbergs.

		The bomb's destructiveness depends on the strength of the ultrawideband source, the altitude at which it is initiated, and its distance from the target [see " E-Bomb Anatomy "].
		Narrowband weapons, by contrast, emit at a single frequency or closely clustered frequencies at very high power (from hundreds up to a thousand kilojoules per pulse), and some can be fired hundreds of times a second, making an almost continuous beam.
		The presumption was that after the Cold War, nobody would be using nuclear bombs, says the Lexington Institute's Thompson.
