Aerial bomb
Aerial bomb a high-explosive bomb designed to be dropped from an aircraft [Merriam-Webster Dictionary].
An aerial bomb is an explosive or incendiary weapon intended to travel through the air on a predictable trajectory. Engineers usually develop such bombs to be dropped from an aircraft. The use of aerial bombs is termed aerial bombing.
Aerial bombs include a vast range and complexity of designs. These include unguided gravity bombs, guided bombs, bombs hand-tossed from a vehicle, bombs needing a large specially-built delivery vehicle, bombs integrated with the vehicle (such as a glide bomb), instant-detonation bombs, or delay-action bombs.
As with other types of explosive weapons, aerial bombs aim to kill and injure people or to destroy materiel through the projection of one or more of the blast, fragmentation, radiation, or fire outwards from the point of detonation [ Millbrooke, p.17]
