Abstract
A projectile for a gun-vane centrifugal launching device is disclosed, of the type with an ogival head, a body and a tail of decreasing section. The body is cylindrical and the weight of the tail is chosen in such a way that the center of gravity of the projectile lays in the plane where the body joins the tail or in the immediate vicinity of this plane. The shape of the said tail is such that no point of the surface of the latter touches the wall of the gun-vane, particularly during the ejection of the projectile.
