Throwing a javelin at the optimal angle.

Throwing a javeline at the optimal angle is throwing a javelin at the angle which the air flows efficiently

around the javeline.The center of pressure is the aerodynamic force of drag and lift on the javelin.before

the 1986 change in javelins , some of the best throwers in the world would throw the javelin with as little as

30 degree angle but greater speed because they were able to hold onto the javelin for longer , producing

more force . Good throwers still use this method but the most commen method is releasing the javelin at

about a 40 degree angles,causing a longer flight for the javelin.
