For the stability of missiles in rectilinear flight with an arbitrary inclination, special attention is paid to some secondary factors usually neglected. They are: the diminishing mass of the missile; the mass flow inside the missile; the imperfections in the resulting thrust called malalignments; and the effect of gravity. The treatment is based on the perturbation method applied to Euler's equations of motion, and on the Laplace transforms and the Wiener-Hopf technique. The stability criterion is derived from the approximate solution for small values of time. A numerical example is given. (Author)
