The aerodynamic performance of a wing at an oblique deployment orientation has been found through wind tunnel testing to affect both the lateral and longitudinal stability of a cruise missile. While conventional analysis tools are insufficient for calculating the aerodynamics of an oblique wing, a suitable method has been determined for use with the USAF Missile DATCOM code. Comparisons made between wind tunnel results and Missile DATCOM calculations show that Missile DATCOM can produce a reasonable approximation of the aerodynamics of a wing at oblique deployment angles.
