Is it still an ellipse after resistance? After seeing your first tweet I tried “unsimplifying” in a different way - do the problem for standing on a sphere. what curve is formed by the apogees of ellipse “orbits” when you throw a rock at different angles? Didn’t manage tho

I assume you're showing low altitude trajectories in your animation, flat earth, constant gravity. I think he wants to know what happens for on spherical gravity for high altitude trajectories?
