ABSTRACT:
A missile, and in particular a shell flying at supersonic velocity, having aerodynamic control. The missile comprises a missile housing and a missile tip which is tiltably connected to the missile housing. Between the missile housing and the shell tip, a positioning device consisting of at least one piezoelectric positioning member and a control circuit is arranged which comprises a voltage source. By applying a voltage to the piezoelectric positioning members, their lengths are changed, whereby the tilting motion of the shell tip is executed.
