GLIDING AMMUNITION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F42B10/12 B64C3/38 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: ammunition includes a body in the front part with a tapered aerodynamic surface, in which a warhead with an explosive and a detonating fuse is located, a control compartment, two side pivoting wings with a power pneumatic actuator, a propulsive jet with rudders and a tail section, and a pylon attachment element. The body is made of two composite parts, the front one of which is a warhead. Its afterbody is made in the form of a flattened cone, and the rear composite part represents a planetary gear, on the housing of which two pivoting wings with the power actuator are installed. Inside the upper longitudinal part there arranged is the control compartment and a longitudinal power rack, on which an additional aerodynamic surface is installed with possibility of being transformed both to folded and unfolded positions. Articulation of both composite parts of the gliding ammunition is made by means of a supporting and coupling gear installed on a tie-rod with possibility of axial rotation. The tie-rod is fixed on a longitudinal power rack of the planetary gear housing.

EFFECT: increasing ammunition throwing distance.
