ABSTRACT:
A foldable missile wing is deployed by means of an overcenter linkage powered by a torsion spring assembly capable of exerting a generally linear bias on the linkage over its full range of motion. A separate lock linkage maintains the foldable wing in a deployed position until release actuation of the lock linkage occurs thereby enabling wing deployment.
