Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to an unfurling wing (V, 15) or fin intended for missiles and other projectiles, the wing or fin being, from a first furled (V<1>) position bent in towards the projectile body (K) and initially locked, unfurlable, on cessation of the locking function, to a second position where it generates and desired lifting force and/or guiding impetus for the projectile (P). The wing or fin according to the present invention consists of two plates (1, 2, 16, 17) which are cupped away from one another, and are immovably joined together to one another along all edge sides (3, 18) which are not directly or indirectly secured to the projectile body. The wing or fin occurs in two main variants, of which the first, in the unfurled state, extends transversely of the projectile body on either side thereof, while the second variant consists of fins foldably secured to the projectile body which, in the unfurled state, extend more or less radially out therefrom.
