Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Flettner rotor, a 7-in.-long winged biological bomblet design, was a test design that was never standardized (ie, selected to be mass produced). It could carry either liquid or dry biological agents. This type of bomblet was designed to be released from cluster bombs, dispensers, or missile warheads, and spray out agent on impact. The fins were designed to extend by centrifugal force in flight to stabilize the bomblet’s flight path to the target area.
