Abstract
A statically stabilized projectile may include a fixed tail boom that may be disposed in the through-bore of a sliding tail boom. The sliding tail boom may translate or extend rearward with respect to the fixed tail boom before the projectile exits a launch tube. The through-bore of the sliding tail boom may include a tapered portion. A tail boom sleeve may be fixed to a rear portion of the fixed tail boom. The tail boom sleeve may include a tapered portion that abuts the tapered portion of the through-bore when the sliding tail boom is in an extended position.
