The Telltale Traces of the US Military's New 'Bladed' Missile
The R9X is an unusual weapon system, and not just because it uses six blades to destroy its target. It is a missile that is shrouded in secrecy, but announces its presence with an extremely distinctive signature. Though designed to reduce the fatal radius of a conventional munition, it has a profoundly traumatic effect on the bodies of those ...
How the Hellfire missiles took out al-Qaeda leader al-Zawahiri with
The blades deployed by the R9X have led to the missile being nicknamed "the flying Ginsu" after a famous 1980s television ad for the Ginsu knife or the "Ninja bomb," a reference to stealthy ...
Bladed 'Ninja' missile used to kill al-Qaida leader is part of a scary
It uses the speed, accuracy and kinetic energy of a 100-pound missile fired from up to 20,000 feet, armed with six blades which deploy in the last moments before impact. 'Super weapons'
The CIA Reportedly Used a 'Flying Ginsu' Bladed Missile to Kill al
The 100-pound missile has a range of 4.4 miles and is carried by warships like the littoral combat ship, armed KC-130 tanker transports, the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, and the MQ-9 Reaper ...
AGM-114 Hellfire
The AGM-114 Hellfire is an American air-to-surface missile (ASM) first developed for anti-armor use, [6] later developed for precision [7] drone strikes against other target types, especially high-value targets. [8] It was originally developed under the name " Heliborne laser, fire-and-forget missile", which led to the colloquial name "Hellfire ...
Drones used missiles with knife warhead to take out single terrorist
Without the blades it seems likely that the missile would skid off anything it's trying to hit. The Kia example is probably redundant, as the roof should be thin enough that the missile would ...
The CIA's Blade-Wielding 'Flying Ginsu' Missile Strikes Again
The Hellfire R9X missile is a modified Hellfire anti-tank missile. In order to reduce the chances of civilian casualties, it trades an explosive warhead for steel blades.

EXPLAINER: A look at the missile that killed al-Qaida leader
Last weekend, the U.S. did just that — killing al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri with a CIA drone strike. Other high-profile airstrikes in the past had inadvertently killed innocent civilians. In this case, the U.S. carefully chose to use a type of Hellfire missile that greatly minimized the chance of other casualties.

How Cruise Missiles Work
The Basics. A cruise missile is basically a small, pilotless airplane. Cruise missiles have an 8.5-foot (2.61-meter) wingspan, are powered by turbofan engines and can fly 500 to 1,000 miles (805 to 1,610 km) depending on the configuration. A cruise missile's job in life is to deliver a 1,000-pound (450-kg) high-explosive bomb to a precise ...
Little-known modified Hellfire missiles likely killed al Qaeda's
Two Hellfire missiles fired from a drone killed the leader of al Qaeda, causing surprisingly little damage beyond the target, suggesting they may be a version of the missile shrouded in secrecy ...
Cruise missile
The air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) had a length of 6.3 m (20.7 feet); it attained a range of 2,500 km (1,500 miles). It was designed for deployment on the B-52 bomber. The Tomahawk sea-launched cruise missile (SLCM) and the Tomahawk ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM) had a length of 6.4 m (21 feet), a diameter of 53 cm (21 inches), and a ...

Cruise missile
A cruise missile is an unmanned self-propelled guided vehicle that sustains flight through aerodynamic lift for most of its flight path and whose primary mission is to place an ordnance or special payload on a target. Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large warhead over long distances with high precision.

Structural dynamic testing of composite propfan blades for a cruise
The Naval Weapons Center at China Lake, California is currently evaluating a counter rotating propfan system as a means of propulsion for the next generation of cruise missiles. The details and results of a structural dynamic test program are presented for scale model graphite-epoxy composite propfan blades. These blades are intended for use on a cruise missile wind tunnel model.
