ABSTRACT:
A steering system for a missile provided with aerodynamic surfaces such as fins comprises a gas generator and lateral nozzles through which the gas generated by the gas generator emerges. The nozzles are arranged to lie between adjacent pairs of the aerodynamic surfaces, to project beyond the fuselage of the missile and to have an oblong cross-section, the largest dimension of which lies substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the missile. The gas flow through the nozzles is controlled by complete or partial closing of the nozzles. The shape and placement of the nozzles minimizes changes in the aerodynamic characteristics of the missile caused by interaction between the gas jets emerging from the nozzles and the flow of air over the aerodynamic surface of the missile.
