1 | Adaptive aerodynamic control system for projectile maneuvering | US13889483 | 2013-05-08 | US09040886B1 | 2015-05-26 | Bradley M. Hopping; Craig R. DeMeester |
A projectile control system includes a plurality of fins, a drive mechanism coupled to each of the plurality of fins to enable the plurality of fins to be independently retracted or deployed, and a control mechanism in communication with the drive mechanisms to independently control the deployment or retraction of the plurality of fins. A projectile having the projectile control system and a method of operating a projectile are also described herein. | ||||||
2 | Aircraft, missile, projectile or underwater vehicle with improved control system and method of using | US11292533 | 2005-12-02 | US08809755B1 | 2014-08-19 | Mehul Patel; T. Terry Ng; Paul Suchy |
The present invention relates to an aircraft, missile, projectile or underwater vehicle with an improved control system, an improved control system and a method of maneuvering an aircraft, missile, projectile or underwater vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to an aircraft, missile, projectile or underwater vehicle with control surfaces that are movable along a track. The present invention further relates to a method of controlling a aircraft, missile, projectile or underwater vehicle using such a control system. One of the technical advantages of the control system on a track (or “tracked control surface”) over other aircraft, missile, projectile or underwater vehicle control systems is that the tracked control surface system enables the aircraft, missile, projectile or underwater vehicle to have an unlimited number of configurations, each configuration being tailored to the specific stability or maneuverability requirements during a specific portion of the flight. | ||||||

There is disclosed a collar (100) which may be attached to a munition in order to control the trajectory of the munition. The collar (100) has a collar body (10); a surface (12) for capturing the projectile as it leaves the barrel; a sill (14) for supporting the surface (12) at the muzzle of the barrel; and a guidance means (20a, 20b, 21a, 21b) for altering the flow of air around the collar (100). The collar (100) supports itself at the muzzle and may attach to the projectile at the surface (12) to integrate with the projectile as the projectile is fired. The collar (100) is particularly suited for attachment to mortar rounds. Such a collar (100) gives a weapon operator the option of increasing the precision of a munition without having to carry a plurality of munition types. | ||||||
4 | Winged vehicle with variable-sweep cantilevered wing mounted on a translating wing-support body | US10845700 | 2004-05-13 | US07185847B1 | 2007-03-06 | Mark L. Bouchard; Purna Gogineni; Rudolph A. Eisentraut; Juan A. Perez; Kevin Greenwood |
A winged vehicle includes an elongated fuselage, and a wing mechanism affixed to the fuselage. The wing mechanism has a wing-support-body track affixed to and extending lengthwise along the fuselage, a translating wing-support body engaged to and translatable along the wing-support-body track, and exactly two deployable cantilevered wings. Each deployable cantilevered wing has a wing pivot mounted to the translating wing-support body so that the deployable cantilevered wing is pivotable about the translating wing-support body. The two deployable cantilevered wings are each pivotable between a stowed position and a deployed position. An actuation mechanism is operable to controllably move the translating wing-support body along the wing-support-body track and to controllably move the two deployable cantilevered wings between the stowed position and the deployed position. | ||||||
5 | Lock and slide mechanism for tube launched projectiles | US09663251 | 2000-09-15 | US06492632B1 | 2002-12-10 | Irvin Pollin |
A tube launched projectile having a shaft member at the aft section is slidably mounted on a boom extending aft from the body of the projectile. The boom has a cavity in its aft end which receives some combustion gas from the projectile propellant burn and retains this gas at elevated pressure until the projectile exits the tube. Upon reaching atmospheric pressure, the stored cavity gas expands and drives the slidable shaft aft, elongating the projectile to its flight configuration. | ||||||
6 | Bow launcher and arrow system | US818883 | 1997-03-17 | US5846147A | 1998-12-08 | Ronald Basik |
In order to provide enhanced performance from fletching, an integral or slidable stabilizer is operatively associated with an arrow shaft. The stabilizer in either form includes a plurality of radial vanes each of which imparts aerodynamic force to the shaft so as to cause the arrow to roll or "spin" when the arrow is in flight. In the preferred embodiments of the invention, the radial vanes of the stabilizer have a cross section in the form of an airfoil to thereby induce the roll or "spin." | ||||||
7 | Dart game apparatus | US657148 | 1991-02-19 | US5096211A | 1992-03-17 | Richard A. Morais |
An elongate blow gun defined by a tubular barrel, with a concave resilient entrance ring receiving in a sealing relationship a dart member therewithin. The dart member, through pneumatic pressurization by an individual, directs the dart member as a projectile towards a target board, including alternating and contrasting target sections thereon. A modification of the invention includes a dart member defined by triangular stabilizing vanes that in a first position position each hypotenuse edge of each stabilizing vane in contiguous communication against a conical side wall surface of the dart member that pivots rearwardly upon ejection of each modified dart member from the barrel to enhance stabilization of the dart member during its trajectory towards the target board. | ||||||
8 | Saboted munition with a movable fin group | US612287 | 1990-11-06 | USH942H | 1991-08-06 | Martin L. Pardee |
An armor piercing convertible fin saboted round for a machine gun includes penetrator on which a fin group is mounted so that the penetrator can extend into a prelaunch sabot with the fin group arranged around the penetrator. The fin group advantageously carries a pin which engages in an elongated groove defined on the penetrator and permits the fin group to slide along the body of the penetrator during launch so that it may move from a forward position adjacent the tip of the penetrator rearwardly during launch to an end position in which it is engaged adjacent the end of the penetrator and stabilizes the penetrator during flight. | ||||||

18 | Sliding arrow stabilizer | US10227002 | 2002-08-23 | US20030045381A1 | 2003-03-06 | Paul Morris; Larry Peterson |
An improved arrow and sliding stabilizer therefor are provided. The sliding stabilizer is used instead of fixed or glued tail feathers, vanes or other fletching as a means for stabilizing arrow flight. The invention improves current projectile technology with reduced assembly labor cost, the elimination of bow clearance issues, improved accuracy with the consistent production of the sliding stabilizer, easy replacement of the stabilizer in the field, and improved arrow storage. A sliding stabilizer is designed to slide along the shaft of an arrow and comprises an annular wing and a plurality of fins. In use, the stabilizer is positioned at the front of the arrow prior to launch, and the arrow slides quickly through the stabilizer until secured at a stop position at or near the trailing end of the arrow. | ||||||
19 | Bow launcher and arrow system | US924132 | 1992-08-03 | US5311855A | 1994-05-17 | Ronald Basik |
In order to provide enhanced performance from fletching, a stabilizer is operatively associated with an arrow shaft to be moveable from a launch position near the tip of an arrow at one end thereof to a flight position near the nock of the arrow at the other end thereof. The stabilizer includes a slide collar disposed on the shaft for sliding movement therealong and having a plurality of radial vanes each with a leading edge and a trailing edge as well as a reinforcing extension forwardly of the leading edges of the vanes and extending rearwardly at least to the trailing edges thereof. By limiting the stabilizer to sliding movement along the shaft from the launch position to the flight position, a bow having a riser may be provided with a launcher mounted on the riser to resiliently grip the stabilizer with the vanes forward of the riser during launch. | ||||||
