ABSTRACT:
This invention disclosure describes a wing concept which can be folded al two axes. In the folded configuration, the semi-span of the wing lies parallel to the centerline of the missile fuselage. At deployment, the wing rotates about an axis parallel to the missile centerline. A second rotation follows when the wing's semi-span is made perpendicular to the missile's centerline. Finally the wing is locked into place and the deployed flight configuration is assumed.
