1. vector sights - Sighting systems using the vector principle and incorporating a mechanical representation of the vectors of the bombing triangle. a. pre-set vector - A sighting system in which the values for height, airspeed and wind are set manually on the bomb sight. b. continuously set vector - A sighting system in which the values for height, airspeed and drift are automatically and continuously updated. 2. tachometric or synchronous sights - Sighting systems which automatically release the bomb at the correct bombing angle by maintaining the sight line on the target, thus determining the speed relative to the target and in some cases the track through the target. 3. angular velocity sight - A sighting system in which the correct release point is determined when the angular velocity of the target relative to the bomb aimer reaches a precomputed value. 1, record 4, English, - bomb%20sighting%20system

1. viseur vectoriel - Viseur basé sur une représentation vectorielle des grandeurs utilisées. Il comporte un mécanisme qui reproduit mécaniquement le triangle de visée. On distingue : a. le viseur à préaffichage - Les valeurs de la hauteur de bombardement, de la vitesse par rapport à l'air et du vent sont affichées à la main une fois pour toutes. b. le viseur à affichage continu - La hauteur, la vitesse par rapport à l'air et le vent sont constamment réajustées automatiquement. 2. viseur tachymétrique ou synchronisé - Viseur qui largue la bombe au moment où l'angle de bombardement correct est atteint. Ce type de viseur maintient la ligne de visée sur la cible, déterminant ainsi la vitesse exacte par rapport à l'objectif. Il peut aussi maintenir la route suivie par l'avion de façon à la faire passer par la cible. 3. viseur à déplacement angulaire - Viseur qui permet la détermination du point de largage correct par coïncidence entre le défilement angulaire mesuré de l'objectif par rapport au bombardier et une valeur prédéterminée et préaffichée. 1, record 4, French, - viseur%20de%20bombardement

1. visores vectoriales-Visores que se basan en una representación vectorial de las magnitudes que emplea. Tiene un dispositivo que reproduce mecánicamente el triángulo de puntería. Se distinguen : a. de vectores preestablecidos-Sistema en el que los valores de la altura, velocidad respecto al aire y del viento se introducen normalmente en el sistema una sola vez. b. de establecimiento continuo-Sistema en el que los valores de la altura, velocidad respecto al aire y del viento se reajustan automáticamente de forma continua. 2. visores tacométricos o sincronizados-Visores que sueltan la bomba de forma automática en el momento correspondiente al ángulo de bombardeo correcto. Este tipo de visores mantienen la línea de puntería sobre el blanco determinando así la velocidad relativa del objetivo y en algunos casos la ruta para el seguimiento. 3. visores de velocidad angular-Sistema de visores en los que el punto de lanzamiento se determina mediante la velocidad angular del objetivo con respecto al avión de bombardeo.(Cuando alcanza un valor previamente calculado). 1, record 4, Spanish, - sistemas%20de%20visores%20de%20bombardeo
