It is just that becoz of high drag your acceleration is lower (than if you were at higher alt), assuming you are burning fuel at same rate.. so you gain speed slower.. and hence gain distance slower.. so when you run out of fuel you have reached a shorter distance... but you still got a high speed....

Huh? If anything it implies that speed remains high & hence impacts range given more friction at sea level needs to be overcome to maintain the speed & more of the onboard energy (ie fuel) is used up in this manner. I do not believe that there is a microcontroller in the Brahmos that accele...

It must be noted that the range of the Brahmos in low-low profile is only 120 kms, which is less than half of its usual range of 290 kms (when launched in hi-lo profile). This means that its speed is reduced when it cruises at just above sea-level, and implies drastic reduction in speed. DSMC of tom...

sometimes i wonder how can a land attack cruise missile version of Brahmos travel at low altitude [like Storm Shadow/Tomahawk] sustaining speed in excess of 2.5 Mach ? any guru who can throw more light on this. I am not a guru but I'll try. See ramjet engines are air-breathing engines. So they wont...
