Retractable wing for missile - has angled body recesses for housing pivoted lift surfaces protruding upwards in flight

摘要

The projectile with control- and stabilising fittings and an elongated body is distinguished by two elongated blades (354,355) connected to that body, each with an elongated flat lift-portion (356-357) projecting upwards from the body in flight. Both lift portions are mounted rotatably about axes near one lift-portion end and perpendicular to its surface. The axes meet in the body (350) centre plane and diverge downwards from that. Recesses (352,353) on opposite sides of the body each accommodate on blade which rotates between an operation/flying position and one retracted into the recess, when no part projects beyond the body contour. The body may also have wings (364,365).
