English to Italian Law/Patents Aerospace / Aviation / Space foldable panels for flying objects

Panels are so designed as to bestow a relative large footprint to the objects they are part of. The larger the area and span of wings of aircrafts and rockets, the greater are their maneuverability and gliding abilities. The advantages of large footprint-feature in flight may cause disadvantages and diffi-culties in storing, transporting and deploying of pa-nel-equipped objects.

To be effective wings typically span a substantial distance from the body of projectile thus bestowing a large footprint. The footprint dictates large packaging, storage and maintenance volumes.
