An estimate of the error of the linearized equations of motion of an axisymmetric projectile

Abstract: An estimate is obtained, by small-parameter methods, of the error of the solution for the system of equations of motion of a projectile in the atmosphere, linearized for small angles of attack with respect to the variables describing the angular oscillations of the axis of symmetry, compared with the solution of the initial non-linear system for the same initial conditions.
