What is Grid Fins in Rocket Re-Entry Control about?
This document discusses grid fins as efficient control surfaces for rocket re-entry. It begins by describing grid fins as an unconventional lifting and control surface with a honeycomb structure of intersecting small chord planar surfaces. Some advantages of grid fins include better performance at high speeds and angles of attack, lower hinge moments, high strength-to-weight ratio, and the ability to fold for easier storage. The document then provides background on historical uses of grid fins and covers a
