Extract

On reading the paper by D. J. Bell in the February edition of the Journal, I noticed that there was no mention of an adaptation of the energy height approach to solutions of maximum range trajectories. I was surprised to find no documentation concerned with this approach and would like to indicate this technique which I have used several times.
