The operable variables are: Method of Propulsion - wind
power stays on
course, motors maneuver. Size: The smaller vessel is generally the more
maneuverable and is obliged to do so.
Very so for aircraft. it has more depth as there are blimps, choppers,
sailplanes but the rule is basically the same everywhere.
There are other rules as well, but these two suit this
situation very
nicely. Fast, jet powered fighter aircraft can and should avoid
colliding
with butt slow prop-driven piglike aircraft. Really,
that is the first
duty of any fighter pilot after taking off and before landing. The rest
is trying to SHOOT down the bad guys. Ramming them is not nearly so
effective, as our Chinese friends have learned.
It's a result of serious pilot error on the part of the figher pilot.
