The invention concerns a missile body having a first flight guide and stabilization means mounted on the missile body and a second guide and stabilization means mounted on the missile body in front of the first guide and stabilization means with respect to the direction of flight. The second guide and stabilization means comprise a plurality of wings which are folded inwardly (collapsed inwardly, pivoted inwardly) into the missile body when in their inoperative position. These wings can be pivoted or slid outwardly when in their operative position by means of a collapsed expandable body which is expanded by means of pressurized gas. The pressurized gas is stored in a pressurized gas cylinder mounted within the missile body. The expandable body expands in a radial direction and thereby exerts a force on the wings which causes them to either pivot about a rotatable axis or to move in a radial direction outwardly of the missile body.

An improved missile body having first flight guide and stabilization means operatively mounted on the tail of the missile body and second flight guide and stabilization means operatively mounted on said missile body in front of said first guide and stabilization means with respect to the direction of flight of said missile body, said second flight guide and stabilization means including a plurality of pivotably mounted wings and means for radially outwardly unfolding said wings from an inoperative to an operative position; said means for radially outwardly unfolding said wings outwardly pivot said wings into an operative position against the direction of flight of said missile body; said missile body has a plurality of slits corresponding in number to the plurality of wings and said wings are fully disposed in said slits when said wings are in their inoperative positions said means for radially outwardly unfolding said wings include at least one inflatable air bag and a pressurized gaseous medium source in operative communication with said air bag, whereby when said plurality of wings are in their inoperative position said air bag is in a collapsed folded condition and said air bag assumes an essentially disk-like shape which is centered about the longitudinal axis of the projectile when inflated by said source of pressurized gaseous medium thereby biasing said plurality of wings outwardly of said missile body.
