Limited space available for stowage of missiles aboard aircraft led to consideration of folded wing surfaces; method for computing aerodynamic loads on slender missiles with complicated cross-sections is applied to predict loads for missiles with folding wings; comparison of calculations with wind tunnel measurements indicates that method provides satisfactory first estimates of aerodynamic properties of such missiles.
