Abstract

An airborne body possessing an over-caliber sized guidance mechanism having control surfaces which are retracted into the structure of the airborne body and arrested therein at their end surfaces through a securing arrangement so as to be released for outward extension into the operative position of the guidance mechanism in dependence upon an acceleration in the firing or launching direction. The airborne body is equipped with a pusher rod or ram which concurrently engages into all control surfaces and which is axially displaceable relative to the structure of the airborne body, and which upon a reduction in the acceleration of the airborne body in the launching direction, is disengaged from the control surfaces.
