Abstract
In the field of fire control, one of the most important problems confronting the designer is that of furnishing an accurate solution for the control of fire from fixed guns carried by an airplanes flying along a curved path. In order to overcome this problem, sights of various types have been or are being designed. The type considered in this thesis is a gyro-computing, disturbed-line-of-sight type of gunsight. With the computer case of the gunsight being rigidly mounted to the structure of the attacking airplane, the foremost problem is to determined the effect of any possible motion of the computer case on the indicated sight prediction angle determined by the computer.
