New key parameters, namely b0 = tgθ0, θ0 — angle of throwing, Ra — top curvature radius and β0 — dimensionless speed square on the top of low angular trajectory were suggested in classic problem of integrating nonlinear equations of point mass projectile motion with quadratic air drag. Very precise formulae were obtained in a new way for coordinates x(b), y(b) and fly time t(b), b = tgθ where θ is inclination angle. This method is based on Legendre transformation and its precision is automatically improved in wide range of the θ0 values and drag force parameters α. The precision was monitored by Maple computing product.
