PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a missile with folding wings folded for deployment that is structured to avoid aerodynamic instability by the folding wings when missile speed is slow. SOLUTION: The missile has fixed wing parts 2 fixed on the missile 4, deployable wing parts 3, hinges 5 for pivoting the deployable wing parts 3 on the fixed wing parts 2 in a deployable manner, wires 6 for holding the deployable wing parts 3 in a folded position, and cutters 7 for releasing the wires 6. The deployable wing parts 3 are turnable on the hinges 5 to a deployed position flush with the fixed wing parts 2, and the deployable wing parts 3 are held in the folded position by the wires 6. While missile speed is slow before reaching a predetermined value, the folded state is held, so that until the wire holding is released, the missile is protected from aerodynamic instability by the deployable wing parts set in the deployed position.
