| Statically stable projectiles direction of control |
The reason we included this example is to show the different ways statically stable and spin stabilized rounds react to control forces. Statically stable projectiles' direction of control is directly linked to the center of gravity and center of pressure locations.
In this case a forward lift produced on the front fins will set the entire projectile at a total angle of attach which in turn will generate lift from the body and rear fins. It is important to note all of the lift vectors are in the same direction.
