ABSTRACT:
A high velocity aerodynamic projectile having a central body with a forward nd, a rearward end and a longitudinal axis, the forward end of the body has a pedestal coaxially extending outward from the body. The projectile has aft stabilizing fins or a flare rigidly affixed at its rearward end and a forward stablizing means pivotably attached to the pedestal of the central body. The forward stabilizing means consists of a self-aligning projectile nose having its rearward end separated from the forward end of the projectile's central body so as to allow the self-aligning projectile nose to pivot and align with the oncoming air stream.
