The combination included an uncoated tungsten carbide insert with a chip breaker and holder providing a zero-degree lead angle.
It shows the calculated fraction of the maximum flow rate over the rotor wing per unit length, as a function of rotor wing helix angle for a fixed rotor speed, wing length, lead angle and land width.
Equipped with a Gen II or III tube (depending on export destination), a laser rangefinder and a north sensor, the system is aimed at the target, the latter being kept within the reticule for about two seconds; at this point range is determined and so is the slew rate allowing the Vosel to automatically offer an new aiming point within the sight that provides both the required elevation and lead angle.
