Variable A: Missile Range in nautical miles
Variable B: Missile Speed in miles per hour
Constant W: 2 (used for lofting missiles)
Constant X: 6076.131 (1 nautical mile = this many feet)
Constany Y: 1.466667 (1 mile per hour = this many feet per second)
Constant Z: 4 (time in 1/4)

Formula* is this

1. (A · X) = C (range in feet)
2. (B · Y) = D (speed in feet / sec)
3. (C / D) = E (range divided by speed for time in seconds)
4. (E · Z) = F (time in seconds times 4 because FA does time in 1/4
of a second for the end result)
5. (F · W) = G (double the end result)**

Notes
* = This is for the removal time of an air to air missile
** = Use for lofted missiles to give enough removal time to make
the loft and the journey (tested with variables 78 / 20 / 78 / 20)
*** = For air to ground missiles, use the loft addition

Enough math for you? LOL! I made it really simple. The way it was
written down when I originally did it was in a language nobody ever
likes (Match language). Man was THAT complicated looking.
