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 7, French, - viseur%20de%20bombardement

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 7, Spanish, - sistemas%20de%20visores%20de%20bombardeo
