摘要
A yaw control system is provided for use in a hypersonic airborne mobile platform, for example a re-entry vehicle. The system includes an active movable yaw control flap positioned between passive/fixed yaw ear surfaces that border or frame the active yaw flaps. The yaw control system includes an active yaw control flap embedded between passive/fixed yaw ear surfaces. The retracted active yaw control flap and passive/fixed yaw ear surfaces provide passive yaw damping during atmosphere reentry, bank-to-turn steering and midcourse fly-out/glide steering. The active yaw control flaps are preferably arranged on opposing sides of a re-entry vehicle, and may be independently extended to provide for steering the vehicle. The active yaw control flaps provide for active yaw control skid-to-turn terminal guidance to achieve a desired level of accuracy, such as needed when using the vehicle as a missile to strike a target.
