ABSTRACT:
A jettisonable adaptor for air-carried missiles is located between an aircraft-mounted launcher and a missile. The adaptor may include flight stabilization and retardation functions which are deployable on separation from the launcher. Instead of mounting fixing hooks on the missile (which would incur aerodynamic-drag) these are mounted on the adaptor instead. When stabilization has occurred the adaptor is separated from the missile.
