大部分有翼导弹由液压、气压、发动机燃气、电机或其它动力源驱动的空气动力面控制。现代高超音速导弹则避免采用弹翼和尾翼控制的形式。所有的导弹都进行推力向量控制。以下几幅图展示了推力向量控制的几种方法。值得一提的是,一旦发动机熄火;推力向量控制将失去作用。图中所示的大部分设计被用于控制弹道导弹按预定的弹道飞行。而有的导弹装有小型游动发动机或气动力控制装置 Most winged missiles are controlled by the aerodynamic surfaces powered by hydraulics, barometric pressure, engine gas, electric motors or other power sources. Modern hypersonic missiles avoid the form of wing and tail control. All missiles are thrust vector control. The following figures show several ways to control thrust vectoring. It is worth mentioning that, once the engine flameout; thrust vector control will be ineffective. Most of the designs shown in the figure are used to control ballistic missiles on a scheduled trajectory. Some missiles equipped with small swimming engines or pneumatic control devices
