The apparatus is for use in an air-to-sea delivery system in which a torpedo is delivered from a high speed jet aircraft. Accuracy of delivery is obtained by providing a constant drag force on the missile throughout its initial delivery trajectory. The system includes a plurality of vanes controlled hydraulically and resembling a parachute.
