Abstract: In a valve control unit for a ram jet propulsion system having a power unit space a valve for controlling a fuel quantity required to the propulsion system, and a valve adjusting unit which is constructed to be operable by means of an electronic control unit, the valve is combined with its valve adjusting unit and its electronic control unit to form a thermally insulated valve assembly. The valve assembly is configured for the arrangement in the power unit space.

Abstract: A rudder of a missile, particularly an aircraft born ramjet missile, is attached to the missile by a plug and socket mounting. A bearing socket (B1) is attached to a base plate (B0) which is secured to the missile body (FK). The socket (B1) has a conical cavity (B3) tapering toward the base plate (B0). The plug (W1) is formed by a rudder shaft (W) also tapering toward the base plate and rotatably fitting into the conical cavity (B3). Bearings (L1, L2) in the cavity (B3) hold the plug end (W1) of the rudder shaft axially and permit rotation of the rudder shaft (W) relative to the bearing socket (B1). The socket thus holds the bearings and has an at least partly outer cylindrical contour with a diameter (B2) that fits into a standard 41 mm wide slot (S) in an aircraft that carries the missile, whereby the rudder (R) is recessed in the slot (S) when the missile is mounted to an aircraft.

Abstract: A guided missile with ram jet drive, with an engine occupying the airframe cross section, with two outer air intakes in the lower area of the airframe, which lead to the tail with wake shafts, with a tail plane including four separately pivotable vanes in the form of a diagonal cross. A rigid wing arrangement is provided in or in front of the center of the missile. One drive unit with linear movement is provided for each vane. Two of the drive units are arranged longitudinally offset in the longitudinal and circumferential directions of the guided missile in each wake shaft. A kinematic connection from the drive unit to the lower vane is formed by a coupling rod each with joints at both ends. A kinematic connection from the drive unit to the upper vane is formed by a pivotable double lever each and a coupling rod with ball joints at both ends.

Abstract: A load glider has, between the parachute surface and the load, a device in which a reversible transfer of mechanical energy from the main lines to the steering lines takes place, so that essentially only frictional forces are to be overcome during the operation of the steering lines. The device includes two differential gears, which are arranged in parallel and are accommodated in housings in which a steering line is wound up on a roller with a larger diameter and a main line is wound up on the other roller with a small diameter. Gears, which can be driven by pinions driven by electric motors, are flanged onto the larger rollers.

Abstract: An ejecting mechanism for an ammunition body is operated by pressurized gas from a high pressure bottle for pressurizing a double piston, which controls two ejectors through a hydraulic valve system. The pressurized gas is heated by a heater surrounding the high pressure bottle to keep the bottle and its content at a temperature that corresponds approximately to the highest outer temperature under which the ejector mechanism is expected to operate. Thus, the pressurized gas has the same energy content at all expected external operating temperatures. After an ammunition body has been ejected, the ejector pistons are pushed back again under an electrical control signal from a control which controls the valve system, whereby the hydraulic oil is pressed back into a hydraulic reservoir. The ejector pistons are of the stepped type to facilitate the intended operation.
