Projective Transformation:
"Because of the constant perpendicularity of the Fuller Projection’s radii to the transforming surface, the Fuller Projection greatly simplifies celestial calculations. All astronomical phenomena always occur in outward perpendicularity–zenith–to the Fuller Projection’s internal spherical coordinates. On transformation to planar grids the astronomical data always remains in identical perpendicular zenith to the corresponding coordinate positions in the planar phase of the Fuller Transformation.
“Because of this property the Fuller Transformation would be more suitable than any other projection for a comprehensive planar mosaic of a total covering-set of world-around aerial photographs. Aerial photographs are always taken from zenith positions and at a constant altitude, or radius distance from the Earth’s spherical surface.”
