ABSTRACT:
A plurality of fins for a missile which are capable of being folded to conform to the general cylindrical contour of the missile body and which are biased to unfold to an erect position and which includes an interconnection mechanism for connecting all the fins together to ensure simultaneous erection and for distributing the erection moment of individual fins to all fins; said interconnection means further being capable of acting without interfering with the movement of the fins for flight control without need for disengagement after erection.
