    Abstract: A compact, aerodynamic wing assembly constructed and arranged so as to withstand a force due to acceleration in at least one direction includes at least two wing segments, each of the wing segments having a span-wise axis, and a airfoil cross section normal to the span axis. The wing segments are preferably disposed mutually adjacent and end to end. For each pair of wing segments, the wing further includes a pivot assembly fixedly attached to the wing segments at an end of each of the wing segments along the span-wise axis. The pivot assembly forms an articulation axis for relative movement between each the pair of wing segments, such that the wing assembly converts, upon a predetermined stimulus, from a stowed configuration characterized by nested wing segments, to a deployed configuration characterized by a substantially uninterrupted aerodynamic surface. The wing assembly is preferably constructed and arranged to withstand forces due to acceleration in at least two directions, including 15,000 g's forward and 4,000 g's rebound accelerations. The invention further comprises a flying structure constructed and arranged so as to withstand an acceleration force directed along a main axis. The flying structure includes a body disposed about the main axis, and at least one wing assembly pivotally mounted to the body. The wing assembly is constructed and arranged so as to convert, upon a predetermined stimulus, from a stowed configuration characterized by nested wing segments, to a deployed configuration characterized by a substantially uninterrupted aerodynamic surface.

    Abstract: An unmanned air vehicle (UAV) having a fuselage, a foldable propulsion means to generate thrust leading to the UAV movement, a driving means to drive the propulsion means and a plurality of flight control surfaces actuators are further included. The UAV further includes at least one pair of foldable wings where the rear portion of the wings is pivotally attached to the fuselage. The wings having at least one roll control surface hinged to at least one of the foldable wings. At least a pair of tail stabilizers having ruddervators flight control surfaces hinged to the tail stabilizers. In a fully extended position or in ready to fly state position, each of the foldable wings are deployed perpendicular to one another and perpendicular to the fuselage to form an offset-x shaped wings, and in a stowed position, each of the wings are positioned parallel to one another and positioned parallel to the fuselage.

    Abstract: A deployable airfoil airborne body such as missiles, bombs, guided projectiles, MALDs and UAVs includes first and second rigid airfoil sections stowed end-to-end along the airborne body. The airfoil sections have first and second interior edges of equal lengths, abutting ends connected at the first and second interior edges by a free-floating pivot, a distant end of the first rigid airfoil section coupled to a fixed pivot on the airborne body, and a distant end of the second rigid airfoil section having a translation point. The first and second rigid airfoil sections are configured to rotate in opposite directions to move the translation point axially along the airborne body to abut the fixed pivot driving the free-floating pivot radially away from the airborne body to join the first and second interior edges in a deployed position transverse to the airborne body to form a rigid airfoil
