Abstract
A system of missile control surfaces includes a control surface housing, a control surface shaft which is rotatably mounted in the control surface housing, a control surface secured on the control surface shaft, a control surface drive and a coupling unit. The coupling unit couples the control surface drive to the control surface shaft in such a way that a movement of the control surface drive produces a rotation of the control surface shaft. To enable high forces to be applied reliably to a guided missile control surface, it is proposed that the coupling unit has at least one flexible tension element, which is secured on the control surface drive and is rolled up onto the control surface shaft to a certain extent.
