ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a wing-stabilized projectile having a transverse thrust steering arrangement. The transverse thrust steering arrangement is constructed in such a way that the release of thrust impulses out of control nozzles is achieved, independently from each other and oscillation free, whereby an excess pressure in the drive system of the transverse thrust steering mechanism is avoided.
This is achieved in that in a control block there is provided at least one movable sealing member which is connected with a signal converter as well as with a control conduit having a centrally arranged sealing member, whereby by unloading the end surface of the sealing member it is opened and permits the outstreaming of generator gases which form a radial thrust impulse F via a control nozzle effecting a flight correction. The pressure loading of the end surface of the sealing member produces a closing process of the closing member at the end of the flight correction whereby the prior closed control member which is centrally mounted in the control block is pressure-unloaded via a throttle, so that the generator gas can be drawn off via of feed conduit and a draw-off conduit in a momentum-free manner.
