Description: The purpose of this report is to provide the equations and HP-65 Programmable Calculator programs for computing ballistic range, height, time-of-flight, and particularly the flight path angle which maximizes ballistic ranges for non-symmetric launch and target positions.  A no-atmosphere, non-rotating, spherical Earth is assumed.  (Author)
