DB Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 I wonder just how well that trades off the use of mass and volume for the neck versus just using straight body lift and aft-mounted fins.
BansheeOne Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 The idea is not really new, I saw it suggested years ago for "guided bullets" in future sniper rifles, where it probably makes most sense.
Stuart Galbraith Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 This presumably could allow missiles to sustain energy better in a high g turn? That would make evasion a hell of a lot more difficult.
