A fin is a surface used to produce lift and thrust or to steer while traveling in water, air, or other  fluid media. The first use of the word was for the limbs of fish, but has been extended to include other animal limbs and man-made devices.The foremost use of fins is to ensure the directional stability of an object moving through a fluid such as water or air and may be seen in the use of fletching on arrows and fins at the rear of some missiles, rockets, self-propelled torpedoes, and  kinetic energy penetrators. They are typically "planar" (shaped like small wings), although grid fins are sometimes used in specialized cases.
