Like all ballistic missiles, the old Polaris missiles and the current Trident missiles use internal gyros for stability in flight.

Would having more fins on a bottle rocket be better?
Fins are used to help keep a rocket stable. The only way to find out if more fins will make it more stable is by testing it.
How does a guided missile turn?
Guided missiles have small fins or wings attached to them, and use them to alter the aerodynamics of the missile, in the same way that a plane with wings (and aerilons/flaps) does. The difference is that in a missile, the small fins/winglets aren't providing lift of any sort (the missile body does that, combined with the very high thrust of the motor engine), and are merely steering. So, a missile flies through the air using the same principles as an aircraft.
How would the rocket differ if it had smaller fins?
It would not be so stable
What difference does it make to where the fins are located?
because if thay are in the wrong place the rocket will not be stable
What do rocket fins do on a rocket?
the fin keeps the rocket stable while the rocket flys.hope that helps! POKECARP out
Is it better to wakeboard with fins or without?
Having fins will give you more control. Without fins you will be able to do surface 180's easier and landing tricks will be a little more forgiving.
How big must fins be to make a rocket stable?
the rockets on the fin are over 50 feet long and this so the rocket will be stable during flight
How fins are helpful to fish?
Without fins, fish would not be able to move around (swim) and live.
What are some true statements about missiles?
Are guided by moveable fins and sensorsHave self destruct timers very senistiveMissiles are guided by movable fins and sensors that turn the missile in-flight to engage a target.missiles have self-destruct timers and very sensitive distance/movement sonsor systems.
How are sharks hurt?
when people capture sharks they cut off their fins and then release them back into the water for dead because sharks can't swim without fins so they sink to the bottom of the ocean to drown because they have to come up for some air sometime but can't without fins
Could an Betta fish live without fins?
No. all fish need fins to swim. Or they would just stay at the bottom of the tank and die.
Why do water rockets need fins?
Water rockets need fins because the rocket needs to stay in balance....without fins on a water rocket, the water rocket would be going out of control because it is not in balance!
