"A cruise missile is a guided missile used against terrestrial or naval targets, that remains in the atmosphere and flies the major portion of its flight path at an approximately constant speed."
A cruise missile is a self-navigating weapon that can stay aloft for an extended period of time until it finds its target.

"Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large warhead over long distances with high precision."
"Modern cruise missiles are capable of traveling at high subsonic, supersonic, or hypersonic speeds, are self-navigating, and are able to fly on a non-ballistic, extremely low-altitude trajectory."
