"CANARD" AERODYNAMIC CONFIGURATION ROCKET Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: rocketry. SUBSTANCE: rocket body accommodates engine installation, warhead and control system equipment. The body carries four fixed wings with ailerons, in tandem with them-four pairwise connected aerodynamic control surfaces, with four fixed destabilizers installed before them. According to the first variant, the body nose part is made in the form of an ogive, and according to the second variant - in the form of a two-stage cone with a fracture of the generatrix. In both variants the nose parts are detachable and terminate in hemispherical surfaces. In each variant the body, destabilizers, wings, ailerons, control surfaces are made and mutually arranged with observance of dependences corresponding to the given variant of rocket. Both variants of rocket have approximately the same aerodynamic characteristics and a high control power effectiveness at large angles of attack. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness. 2 cl, 8 dwg
