Exhaust assembly for mass ejection drive system

摘要

The present invention discloses a system, device and method for providing an exhaust assembly adapted for use with a mass ejection drive system to produce rotational torque about the principle axis of the drive system. Representative features generally include a vane suitably configured to at least partially engage a mass ejecta stream to apply a net rotational torque about the principal axis of the drive system, and a tailfin coupled to the at least one vane. The tailfin is configured to selectively deploy from an at least partially stowed position in order to decrease the application of net rotational torque about the principal axis of the drive system.
