The emission angle distribution of projectile fragments (PFs) and the temperature of PFs emission source for fragmentation of 56Fe on polyethylene, carbon and aluminum targets at the highest energy of 496 A MeV are investigated using CR-39 plastic nuclear track detector. It is found that the averaged emission angle of PFs increases with the decrease of PF charge for the same target, and no obvious dependence of angular distribution on the mass of target nucleus is found for the same PF. The cumulated squared transverse momentum distribution of PF can be well represented by a single Rayleigh distribution, the temperature of PFs emission source is extracted from the distribution, which is about 1.0-8.0 MeV and do not depend on the mass of target for PF with charge of 9<=Z<=25.
