ABSTRACT:
Projectile steering apparatus and method employing the autogiro principle. Two rotatable blades are swung out from a longitudinal slot in a flying projectile. The blades are shaped to rotate as a result of the air stream rushing past the projectile. Steering is effected by altering the orientation of the blades with respect to the projectile in synchronism with rotation of the projectile. By varying the autogiro pattern produced by the pair of blades, it is possible to impart a force for correcting the projectile trajectory.
