ABSTRACT:
An air launched, air-to-surface missile which has extended range and reduced radar cross section for low observability is disclosed. The design uses a triangular cross section fuselage, for low profile drag and reduced weight, a very high aspect ratio, such as 22.5, folding wing for low induced drag and three folding tail fins for less profile drag. The wing is a composite structure of graphite/epoxy sparcaps and 2024 aluminum alloy core with glass/epoxy skins and full depth Nomex.
