Recently, guided missiles applies folding wings to save space. During wing deployment, aero force acting on wing effects significantly on deployment performance, usually aerodynamic coefficient are calculated by CFD analysis. However, Missile Datcom can calculates estimated aerodynamic coefficient very quickly by assuming wing deployment motions as dihedral angle of wing. If missile has external store, wings may need to be folded on top of each other. In this case, one of wing help or interrupt other wing deployment, locking effect. In this study, both effects were included on wing deployment performance analysis to criteria for wings locked condition and formulated wing deploy performance, and compared with wind tunnel test data. Analysis predicted vulnerable wind direction of wing deployment very well.
