SEPARATELY BANKING MANEUVERING AERODYNAMIC CONTROL SURFACES, SYSTEM AND METHOD

A maneuvering system for a flight vehicle rotates a lifting aerodynamic surface of the flight vehicle about an axis parallel with a direction of flight of the vehicle in a rotational direction corresponding to the desired change of flight direction to which the vehicle is to be steered, while maintaining attitude stability of the flight vehicle by altering other aerodynamic surfaces of the vehicle.
