  • Publication number: 20040041059
    Abstract: A device for controlling one or more of the flight parameters of a projectile: speed, spin, pitch and yaw. The invention discloses a novel approach to controlling these parameters by rotating or extruding a surface out from the body of the projectile in a plane normal to the length of the projectile. The specific shape, thickness, and degree of surface exposure would be determined by the specific application and aerodynamic analysis.
