Abstract

To maintain control accuracy for the pivotable rudder blades (14), which lie in a combustion chamber, of a guided projectile (12) which can be fired by means of propellent charge, there is provide a mounting arrangement in which the trunnions (20) of the rudder blade holders (16) of the diametrally mutually opposite rudder blades (14) are torsionally stiffly rigidly connected through an associated coupling element (32) which is limitedly resilient in the radial direction of the guided projectile (12).
