WINGED BODY HAVING A STOWED CONFIGURATION AND A DEPLOYED CONFIGURATION

摘要

A winged body has a wing structure with at least two wings coupled to a body structure, each wing having a wing tip. The wings wrap around the body structure when in a stowed configuration within a launch tube, and the wings spring outward from the body structure to a deployed configuration when the winged body is removed from the launch tube. The wings can take deformed-deployed configurations when the winged body is towed at a relatively high speed through the water.
