Patent attributes
A missile is provided with a motor section that is separated from a guidance and control section by a roller bearing section. A shaft connected to the motor section extends through the roller bearing section and connects to a gear unit that drives a shaft connected to an electrical generator. As the missile moves in flight, vanes on the motor section catch air flow which causes the motor section to rotate. The kinetic energy of the motor section is then converted into electrical energy by the gear unit and electrical generator. A flight computer, a sensor and electro-mechanical actuators are supplied electrical energy from a voltage regulator connected to the electrical generator. The electro-mechanical actuators are connected to corresponding control fins which control the flight path of the missile.
