FLIGHT CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR MISSILE SPINNING ABOUT ITS LONGITUDINAL AXIS

摘要

A flight control circuit is provided for a missile spinning about its longitudinal axis and provided with at least one control member influencing its trajectory. The missile is stabilized about at least one of its pitch and yaw axes by at least one gyroscope having a gyro rotor shaft operatively associated with at least one position pickup indicating the position of the rotor shaft. Each position pickup is mounted rigidly on the missile frame in a plane containing the longitudinal axis of the missile and which plane also included the line of action of the control member. Each position pickup is connected directly to actuating means for the control member.
