ABSTRACT:
An aerial missile is provided with a pair of vane members mounted on opposite sides of the body thereof in recesses provided therefor. Each vane member includes a planar elongated mounting section disposed in a recess; each of such vane member mounting sections being rotatable about an axis passing perpendicularly therethrough adjacent an end thereof. Such axes intersect at a point on the longitudinal plane of symmetry of such missile body and outwardly and downwardly diverge therefrom. Such vane member mounting sections are selectively rotatable after deployment from sheltered positions within such recesses to an operating position about the axis passing through each into and out of alignment with the flowstream moving rearwardly alongside the body of such missile as the same moves forwardly through the air to concurrently serve steering and rolling functions or to serve a pitching function.
