pub fn litz_crosswind_jump_moa(
sg: f64,
length_calibers: f64,
crosswind_from_right_mph: f64,
is_right_twist: bool,
) -> f64Expand description
Bryan Litz’s crosswind aerodynamic-jump estimator (“Applied Ballistics”).
Linear regression for the VERTICAL jump a crosswind imparts to a spin-stabilized bullet, in MOA per mph of crosswind:
Y = 0.01*Sg - 0.0024*L + 0.032 [MOA per mph]where sg is the gyroscopic (Miller) stability factor and length_calibers
is the bullet length in calibers. The returned value is the SIGNED vertical
jump in MOA for the supplied crosswind and twist hand: per Litz a right-twist
bullet jumps UP for a crosswind from the right and DOWN for one from the left,
so crosswind_from_right_mph is positive for a wind coming from the right.
This is a regression valid mainly near Sg ~ 1.75; accuracy degrades for
bullets well outside the fitted data set. See MBA-959.
