Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1564521A1] A sub-caliber projectile (10) has folding fins (14), which swing out from the projectile body (12). Each fin has a leading member (16) with an aerodynamic shape, a holding cable (24) forming the rear member (22), and a covering (40) with two layers (42, 44) is between the leading member and the cable. A sub-caliber projectile (10) has folding fins (14), which swing out from the projectile body (12). Each fin has a leading member (16) with an aerodynamic shape, a holding cable (24) forming the rear member (22), and a covering (40) with two layers (42, 44) is between the leading member and the cable. One end (26) of the cable is secured to the outer end (28) of the leading member, flush with it in the direction of the leading member, so that the clamped cable applies only pressure forces without any bending on the leading member within a small profile depth. The other end (30) of the cable is fastened by a clamp (32) at the projectile body so that, when the fin is extended, the covering is durably tensed between the opened leading member and the cable forming the rear member.
