Each individual shell has a radius, and there's spread on the shells, too. But afaik, Air Strike will continue to have shells falling in a rectangular area, not circular.

The area for an artillery strike is pi(50)2

The area for an air strike is a straight line across that entire same circle, so it'd be 100m in length.

In other words, the artillery can drop anywhere within the circle, whereas the air strike is a diameter line bisecting it.
