ABSTRACT:
An aerodynamic fin and stowable jet vane system preferably for rocket motor issile applications to control roll, pitch, and yaw, in either the aerodynamic or thrust flight control conditions, has a retractable and stowable aerodynamic vane integrated with a stowable thrust vector reaction steering system on a common support. The integrated aerodynamic fins and thrust vector control reduce the overall missile mainframe dimensions and are mounted on a single, space saving support.
