ABSTRACT:
The flight path of a flying body, such as an artillery shell, is stabilized gainst disturbing forces and against pendulum type motions by fluid steering jets ejected from said flying body for causing forces countering the disturbing forces. The steering jets pass through a fluid jet distributing member which has inlet openings communicating with fluid ducts leading to a fluid supply chamber. The distributing member is mounted in the flying body by a spring which permits a deflection or shifting of the distributing member in a direction across a central longitudinal axis of the body. A shift increases the fluid flow cross-sectional area at the inlet openings of the distributing member on its side opposite a disturbing force and decreases the fluid flow cross-sectional area on the side on which the disturbing force is effective, whereby the through-flow of fluid is increased on the opposite side and decreased on the side on which the disturbing force is effective on said flying body for generating the compensating force.
