    I don't know, but even on a concise no.300 circular slide rule, i'm getting about 3960 miles on the accuracy test. These analog calculators are amazing!

    2:33 Seems you read it in the wrong direction, ie .9848 and not .9952

      Well, these things happen when you are multi-tasking, running the cameras, running the slide rule, and talking.
      When I was a law enforcement+EMS+fire dispatcher and things got busy, if I was working three incidents simultaneously, things started to fall through the cracks.
      One of the most brain-taxing tasks we perform is speaking, and researchers have found that talking while driving may cause as much driving impairment as a 0.05% blood alcohol level.

    Are you familiar with artillery? I liked your explanation on that Firing table ruler. Now firing tables are 400 page books! I'd much rather carry that ruler.

      Could be interesting. I once read computer game development blog on topic. First it's parabola. Then air drag exists. Then air density changes exponentially with height. Then temperature says it's not that simple. And now the worst part: dependency of drag vs speed is not linear, quadratic, but changes when air flow goes from laminar to turbulent, near speed of sound and so on, so it's tabulated.

    Just wondering if the aviation rule can be used for cel nav? Or is there a specific one for that? Thanks

      There are slides for maritime use. Mostly to help with dead reckoning

    Are you a "Flat-Earther"? Your mention, for me at the end of this video, was ambiguous.

      ​​@@sliderulesandmathematics9232 guess he missed the flat earth crumbling animation (nicely done)and the extra salty tears of flat earthers. Lol. As you stated in the intro video, modern calculators have negatively effected the perceived relationship of numbers. As you know, the complexity of math is in the interpretation between 2 languages: spoken and physical. A dictionary for the spoken and a slide rule for the physical/logical/ratios.
