ABSTRACT:
A stabilizer system for use with an aerodynamic body having pivotal control surfaces to control the roll rate of the body. A pair of high mass members are diametrically supported for radial displacements induced by the centrifugal forces on the body. A pair of drive racks project from the high mass members and engage a pinion rotatably mounted on a centrally disposed axle. Another pinion is supported at the axially off-set distal end of the axle. It imparts rotational motion to a pair of connecting members by means of gear sectors mounted on shafts which are adapted to cause pivotal displacements of the control surfaces to increase or decrease the deflection thereof. This produces a corresponding increase or decrease of the roll rate of the aerodynamic body.
