An aerodynamic lift-generating adapter assembly secures to the nose of an unguided projectile to provide a capability for flat-trajectory flight. The adapter assembly comprises a rotatably-supported, roll-stabilized lift-generating section coupled to an actuator section containing inertia means to initiate gyroscope rotor spinning. The control gyroscope is directly linked to the lift-generating device to maintain fixed orientation of the lift.

An adapter assembly attachable to the nose portion of an unguided projectile to provide the projectile with a substantially flat-trajectory flight capability comprising: an aerodynamic lift-generating section including both a lift-producing device and a separate stabilizing mechanism directly coupled to said device; a separate and distinct actuator housing attachable to the nose portion of a projectile; means for rotationally coupling said lift-generating section to said actuator housing; and inertia means within said actuator housing to initiate operation of said stabilizing mechanism, said adapter assembly producing a stabilized, vertically-oriented lift to counter the projectile weight.
