English: Three views of a projectile’s path are shown. The trajectory view is the view seen from the side. It does not show cross-range motion. The ground track view is seen from above. It does not show vertical motion. The drift view is seen looking from the initial point toward the terminal point. It does not show down-range motion.
This graph image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Trajectory-groundtrack-drift.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
