ABSTRACT:
A process for controlling the flight attitude of a flying body and/or the activation of a useful live load on a flying body and the arrangement for carrying out the process. At least one receiving-emitting-unit for emitting and receiving energy in the form of ultra soundwaves is first emitted in bundled form from the unit and then reflected from the region immediately adjoining the flying body, for example, the ground surface, and received by the unit, whereupon the soundwaves are converted into electrical signals. By means of time lapse measurements of the emitted and reflected soundwaves there can, for example, be measured the distance of the flying body from the ground. If the flying body deviates from a predetermined flight path, control surfaces for correcting the flight path are adjusted by control means. Moreover, by means of the receiving-emitting-unit and via the control means a useful live load can be activated.
