Abstract:
A system for guiding an airframe during flight to a target comprising: a generally planar plate element having an accurate peripheral edge, a plurality of bi-directional jet nozzle elements positioned at said peripheral edge of said plate element, a gas generator element supplying gas to said plate element, said plate element supplying gas to said jet nozzle elements; each of said nozzle elements having bi-directional valve elements having a pair of solenoids and dual action solenoid controlled poppet valves for directing gas flow through said bi-directional nozzle elements; means for controlling said poppet valves to present a constant exit area, gas generated to allow said generator to operate without pressure regulation, said means simultaneously opening certain other of said valve elements to provide lateral incremental directional thrust.
