ABSTRACT:
An aerodynamic lift-generating adapter assembly secures to the nose of an guided projectile to provide a capability for flat-trajectory flight. The adapter assembly comprises a rotatably-supported, roll-stabilized lift-generating section coupled to an actuator section containing inertia means to initiate gyroscope rotor spinning. The control gyroscope is directly linked to the lift-generating device to maintain fixed orientation of the lift.
