Abstract

In this paper, we have expanded on an idea from a previous PST paper: P3_11 Spartan Rocket Jump (2012). We consider the horizontal distance travelled by Master Chief if he performs a rocket jump. By using the equations of motion, we determined the maximum horizontal distance Master Chief could travel as 106 m, relating to an optimal vertical angle that a RPG round can be fired from as being about 30.0°.
