Wilder-Smith) I remember a few months back that there was a discussion of the purpose of the small toothed wheels on the rear fins of the sidewinder. I just saw one at the Naval Weapons Center in China Lake and was asked if I knew what they were for. If anyone knows and could e-mail I'd appreciate it alot.
