ABSTRACT:
A guided projectile comprising an energy source supplying a gas flow which feeds two pairs of exhaust nozzles, each pair of nozzles being disposed in the corresponding steering plane. Each of these nozzles is provided with a valve for regulating the relative flowrates of the throughflowing gases; this valve being formed essentially by a pivoting vane hinged about an axis; these vanes are interlocked in pairs and positioned by means of two independent mechanisms formed by a deformable parallelogram, the element 40 being the drive element. According to the invention, the directions of the thrust forces created by the nozzles converge at a point P situated on the axis of the projectile and this point P may merge with the center of gravity G of the projectile.
