Zusammenfassung:	A self-erecting collapsible wing for an airframe includes a telescoping strut assembly, Figure 4, including a leading strut 32, 34 and a trailing strut 40, 42 each pivoted at an inner end to fixed pins 28, 30 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 26, Figure 7, 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.
