Abstract:Grid fins have found different applications over the last three decades, from control surfaces in missiles and projectiles to emergency brakes and stabilization devices in space vehicles. Particularly, lattice fins provide a higher maneuverability to agile high-speed missiles in supersonic flow due to their capacity to maintain lift at higher angles of attack, while improving yaw and roll stability. The aerodynamic data available for such configurations includes static aerodynamic coefficients and stability de… Show more
