AERODYNAMIC ROTATIONAL STABILIZATION TECHNIQUES FOR PROJECTILES

摘要

A pliant projectile is provided with a plurality of 1-shaped grooves in the circumference thereof. The grooves are at an angle with the axis of the projectile and, in flight, will, through interaction with the air, cause the projectile to rotate about its axis, thereby stabilizing the flight path. The projectile may be provided with an additional stabilizing member extending from its tail which member includes a plurality of tabs each having a fin that can interact with the air, in flight, to add additional rotational forces to the projectile.
