ABSTRACT:
A vane assembly for a projectile has a carrier carrying a plurality of pivots, having at the pivots respective carrier elements, and adapted to be secured to an end of the projectile. Respective vane elements are each pivotal on the pivots between an inner position lying immediately adjacent the respective carrier element and within a projection of the projectile and an outer deployed position projecting beyond the projection. Respective heat-destructible pins engaged between the vane elements and the respective carrier elements normally retain the vanes in the inner position and release the vanes for movement into the outer position when destroyed by heat. The carrier element is a rib of the carrier against which the respective vane lies when not deployed. In addition, relative to a normal longitudinal direction of travel of the projectile carrying the assembly, the vanes extend longitudinally in the direction and have relative to the direction front leading ends engaging the respective pins and rear trailing ends at the respective pivots.
