Zusammenfassung:WING HOUSING AND COVER RELEASE ASSEMBLY FOR SELF-ERECTING WING A self-erecting collapsible wing for an airframe includes a telescoping strut assembly including a leading strut and a trailing strut each pivoted at an inner end to fixed pins on a base support structure of a wing housing within a slot in the airframe for retraction to a colinear position within the housing and spring biased to an outward fully deployed position. A releasable cover conforming to the curvature of the airframe is normally latched in position over the slot when the wing is in the collapsed position within the wing housing and is jettisoned to permit automatic self-erection of the wing.
