3 Missiles do have a flight time, but this is not the main factor that determines their range. There is a cylindrical cutoff limiting where they can go, and this is independent from their flight time. Their flight time is determined by fuel - once they run out of fuel, they fall out of the sky, but this is not a particularly common way for a missile to go. 3 Missiles do have a flight time, but this is not the main factor that determines their range.

5 The cylindrical range makes it easier to determine how far from the launcher a missile can go without having to account for course adjustments, doubly so since some missiles can hit both air and ground. Cylindrical range would look weird on a laser, but it's less noticeable on missiles and more convenient. 5 The cylindrical range makes it easier to determine how far from the launcher a missile can go without having to account for course adjustments, especially since some missiles can hit both air and ground.
