In order to reach their target, guided artillery projectiles need some steering capability. Folding and adjustable control surfaces are thus necessary. However, mounting adjustable rudders on a shell is a difficult task, mechanically speaking. Indeed, during the gun launch, the onboard equipment undergoes significant acceleration so that robust mechanical joints have to be designed between the rudders and the body. This technique performs very well on large-caliber projectiles, but becomes more complicated when it has to be embedded in small- or medium-caliber ones. Nevertheless, under supersonic flight conditions, shock waves interacting with solid surfaces are likely to strongly modify the pressure distribution. This principle made it pos...
