  • GUIDED MISSILE
    Publication number: 20120068002
    Abstract: A missile (10) comprising a projectile body (20), a payload (60) contained within the nose portion (30), wings (70) stowed within the mid portion (40), and fins (80) stored within the tail portion (50). The wings (70) can be deployed during intermediate stages of the flight path when lift is advantageous, and re-stowed during terminal stages when an almost vertical angle-of-attack is desired. The fins (80) function as stabilizing components during the early ballistic stage of the flight path and function as guiding components thereafter.
