A system for providing yaw control in vehicles flying at high angles of attack and high supersonic and hypersonic speeds is described. The system consists of flaps mounted on the leading edges of a swept wing which can be deflected to provide a yawing moment to compensate for loss of yaw control normally provided by the rudder. A diagram of the installation is provided and the aerodynamic characteristics of the system are explained.
