| 发明名称 | Reduced drag projectile | ||
| 摘要 | A reduced drag projectile is provided. The projectile includes a conductive shell that has a leading end and a trailing end. The conductive shell forms an interior volume. The projectile includes a conductive bullet core disposed at least partially within the interior volume. The conductive bullet core has a leading end element and is electrically insulated from the conductive shell. A voltage system is electrically coupled to the conductive shell and electrically coupled to the conductive bullet core. The projectile is configured to expose the leading end element to the atmosphere during flight, and the voltage system is configured to, during flight, generate a voltage at the leading end element that forms a corona discharge at the leading end element. | ||
