Projectile having plural rotatable sections with aerodynamic air foil surfaces
First Claim
1. A projectile, comprising:
- a nose section having an outer surface with a plurality of spaced deviations thereon extending at least partially around said nose section outer surface to thereby provide alternate lands and grooves on said nose section outer surface;
a body section having an outer surface with a plurality of spaced deviations thereon extending at least partially around said body section outer surface to thereby provide alternate lands and grooves on said body section outer surface, said lands and grooves on said outer surface of said body section and said lands and grooves on said outer surface of said nose section extending in opposite directions with respect to the longitudinal axis of said projectile; and
connecting means for connecting said nose section and said body section so that one of said sections is rotatable with respect to the other of said sections.

Abstract
Aerodynamical air foil surface and subsurface expressions and/or impressions of varied geometrics, angles of attack, heights and depths, comprising part of a projectile surface itself to create McClain effect molecular friction/pressure/temperature reaction flight control surfaces which automatically achieve in all fluids and velocities of flight self-stabilizing spin and rotation, increased height of trajectory with corresponding enhancement of range and distance, kinetic energies, inducing smooth laminar boundary layer flows, substantially decreasing drag effects, synergistically combined to constitute a major technological improvement in performance of all projectiles. Projectile having plurality rotatable sections with aerodynamic air foil surfaces provides self-stabilized spin projectile with sections rotating in opposite directions.

9. A self-stabilized spin projectile to be fired from a launch tube, comprising:
-
a nose cone having a plurality of helical lands and grooves extending counterclockwise from the tip to the base of the nose cone; a connector shaft projecting beyond the base of the nose cone along the longitudinal axis of the nose cone; a cylindrical projectile body having a longitudinal bore to receive the projecting connector shaft, the exterior surface of the body having a plurality of helical lands and grooves extending clockwise from the front to the rear of the body; and said shaft connected to said nose cone and said body so that the nose cone and the body can rotate relative to one another. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
