Abstract: A split-chord deployable wing for aerial vehicles such as missiles, UAVs, MALDs and SDBs that require both longer wing span and increased chord length. Such split-chord deployable wings must address unique problems such as synchronized deployment and integrity of the deployed wing to both vertical and sheer loads. Each wing comprises a pair of wing sections stowed fore and aft along the fuselage. Complementary gear teeth synchronize deployment of the wing sections. A deployment mechanism synchronizes deployment of the wings. Complementary tongue and groove surface portions of the wing sections progressive engage as the wing sections pivot away from the fuselage. The surface portions are segmented so that tongue segments are nested within complementary groove segments to provide both vertical and sheer stability.
