The wing or fin includes a flexible covering and a tensioning device; for example, a strut arrangement, and with the wing or fin being displaceable from a retracted position prior to launch of the projectile to an outwardly extended position in which the applicable covering portion is tensioned by the tensioning device so as to thereby provide a stable, predetermined aerodynamically defined wing or fin configuration.
