Short duration, high-torque rocket nozzle

摘要

A rocket spin control system for a tube launched rocket has a fixed position nozzle on the rocket and a set of internally positioned torque ring inside of the nozzle that is anchored with erodible tabs. The tabs erode as the rocket exits the launcher. With the erosion of the tabs, the torque ring is free to rotationally move, which eliminates any torque imparted onto the rocket while retaining the torque ring with the rocket. This increases the reliability of rocket precision.
