The disclosed system and method for improving aerodynamic stability of
aeronautic vehicles generally includes an ejectable grid fin adapted for
releasable engagement with aeronautic vehicles. The grid fin is generally
configured to optimize the flight performance characteristics of the
aeronautic vehicle taken in engaged combination with the grid fin as
compared with the flight performance of the aeronautic vehicle taken
alone. Disclosed features and specifications may be controlled, adapted
or otherwise optionally modified to improve the aerodynamic stability
and/or control of a variety of deployed aeronautic vehicles. Exemplary
embodiments of the present invention generally provide ejectable grid
fins that may be used in conjunction with missiles mounted on an eject
rail of an aircraft.
