Abstract |
The fins of a missile which is folded within a canister are deployed according to a command during the missile flight. The aerodynamic load generated by operating environments such as missile flight speed, platform movement speed and wind acts as an anti-deploying force and prevents the fins from deploying. As the diversification of platforms and the higher speed of missiles need a larger deploying force but the space for operating the fin deploying device is getting narrower, the new design concepts are required for developing such a device. In this study, a pneumatic device for deploying missile fins is designed and its characteristics are verified through experiments and analyses. |
