<p>A detonation thrust-producing device (10) includes an explosive (32) located in a recess (34) in an external surface of a body (16). Detonation of the explosive expels material out of the recess, providing thrust to the body in an opposite direction. A mass, such as a metal disk (58), may be placed blocking or covering the external opening. The body may be a part of a vehicle, such as an airborne projectile (12). The thrust-producing device may include multiple detonation motors arrayed around the body, capable of being individually or multiply detonated. Such thrust-producing devices may be used for attitude adjustment, steering, or other control of the flight of the projectile or other air vehicle. The detonation thrust-producing devices have the advantage of a faster-response time than propellant-based devices, and do not need the nozzles that are used with many propellant-based devices.</p> |
