Aerodynamic controls
Abstract
The control characteristics of deflected aerodynamic surfaces on guided weapons are considered. In the case of guided weapons all-moving surfaces are used due to the requirement for trimmed incidence and lateral acceleration. Controls at the tail and at the front of a weapon body, moving wing controls and controls placed within the wing planform are covered. In general, cruciform configurations are studied.
