Abstract

See full text

A missile jet tab actuator system for a thrust vector control coupled to aerodynamic controlled surfaces is disclosed. The device removes roll information present in commands to the aerodynamic surfaces. Only pitch and yaw information is thus supplied to the thrust vector control jet tabs. In this disclosure, the roll information is removed by a gear and slotted sleeve system. The resulting pitch and yaw output is used to drive the thrust vector control jet tabs. No separate set of independently powered actuators for such tabs is required.
