A foldable ram air scoop for gathering and channeling external air into a secondary thrust chamber, or afterburner, of an air-augmented thrust propelled missile is provided. The scoop is deployable prior to launch, being foldable against the missile body while stowed within a volume restricted storage magazine. The present air scoop essentially comprises a two-stage folding mechanism which compactly holds the scoop body against the missile, controllably deploys the scoop to a desired configuration, and positively locks the scoop in the proper position.
