An apparatus includes a restraint for restraining a first control surface in a stowed configuration and a severing mechanism for parting the restraint to allow the first control surface to move into an operational configuration. A vehicle includes a body, a first control surface rotatably mounted to the body, and a restraint attached to the first control surface for restraining the first control surface in a stowed configuration. The vehicle further includes a severing mechanism for parting the restraint to allow the first control surface to move into an operational configuration. A method includes attaching a restraint to the control surface to restrain the control surface in a stowed configuration and cutting the restraint to allow the control surface to move to an operational configuration.

What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle, comprising: a body; a first control surface rotatably mounted to the body; a restraint attached to the first control surface for restraining the first control surface in a stowed configuration; and a severing mechanism for parting the restraint to allow the first control surface to move into an operational configuration, wherein the restraint extends through the severing mechanism. 2. A vehicle, according to claim 1, wherein the restraint comprises a tether. 3. A vehicle, according to claim 2, wherein the restraint further comprises a fitting coupled with an end of the tether and being attached to the first control surface. 4. A vehicle, according to claim 1, wherein the severing mechanism is an explosively actuated severing mechanism. 5. A vehicle, according to claim 1,wherein the severing mechanism comprises a blade. 6. A vehicle, according to claim 1, further comprising a second control surface rotatably mounted to the body, such that the restraint is attached to the second control surface for restraining the second control surface in a stowed configuration. 7. A vehicle, comprising: a body; a first control surface rotatably mounted to the body; a restraint attached to the first control surface for restraining the first control surface in a stowed configuration; and a severing mechanism for parting the restraint to allow the first control surface to move into an operational configuration, wherein the severing mechanism comprises a blade and an explosive charge for urging the blade to sever the restraint. 8. A vehicle, according to claim 7, wherein the severing mechanism further comprises: a housing in which the explosive charge is disposed; a plunger disposed within the housing and comprising the blade to be driven by the explosive charge to sever the restraint; a guide disposed within the housing and defining an opening through which the restraint extends; and an anvil disposed within the housing upon which the restraint is positioned for control with the blade. 9. A vehicle, according to claim 7, wherein the restraint comprises a tether. 10. A vehicle, according to claim 7, wherein the restraint comprises a tether. 11. A vehicle, according to claim 7, further comprising a second control surface rotatably mounted to the body, such that the restraint is attached to the second control surface for restraining the second control surface in a stowed configuration. 12. A vehicle, comprising: a body; a first control surface rotatably mounted to the body; a second control surface rotatably mounted to the body; a tether; a first fitting coupled with a first end of the tether and the first control surface; and a second fitting coupled with a second end of the tether and the second control surface; and a severing mechanism for parting the tether to allow the first control surface and the second control surface to move into operational configurations. 13. A method, comprising: attaching a restraint to a control surface rotatably mounted to a body of a vehicle to restrain the control surface in a stowed configuration; and extending the restraint through a severing mechanism. 14. A method, according to claim 13, wherein attaching the restraint further comprises attaching the restraint to the vehicle. 15. A method, according to claim 13, further comprising attaching the restraint to a second control surface. 16. A method, according to claim 13, further comprising cutting the restraint with the severing mechanism to allow the control surface to move to an operational configuration. 17. A method, according to claim 16, wherein cutting the restraint further comprises explosively actuating the severing mechanism. 18. A method, according to claim 15, further comprising cutting the restraint with the severing mechanism to allow the first and second control surfaces to move to operational configurations.
