I am assuming that the first arrow will basically flop end-over-end, sinceIt seems to me that the feathers are only there to stabalize an initial
the feathers cannot affect the flight.
But which arrow will fly further? Will the "winner" depend on the angleof
firing? For example, if fired horizontally (and at reasonable speed-nogoing
into orbit), will the feathers keep the arrow fired in an atmosphere aloftfurther?
sufficiently longer to compensate for air resistance so that it will fly
Or will air resistance make it fly less far?I don't think that the arrow's stabilized horizontal position will give it
Can these questions be answered with reasonable confidence?You got me there. I'm confident until my mistakes are pointed out to me,
