Abstract
A projectile includes a projectile body including a flow surface; the flow surface including at least one control surface formed therein. The controls surface is formed continuous with the flow surface, and a pressure source is connected to at least one control surface. The pressure source delivers a pressure to at least one control surface to cause at least one control surface to bulge away from the flow surface.
