Table 2.

Burning time ($t_b$), burn-out altitude ($h_b$) and max range (R) of various kind of missiles (from short to intercontinental range). Data from [9,11,18]. The max range depends on the payload. Since some missiles have been developed to carry various kinds and numbers of warheads, the stated max range is that corresponding to the minimum payload.
