<p>The missile has a body made up of two (10,12) or more interlocking end-joined sections of circular cross-section. When assembled, there is no difference in the outer diameter of the assembly in the interface zone. A tubular flange interface between the two sections is sub-divided into two arcs (14,18,16,20) as seen in cross-section. The inner face of the body within the first arc is of reduced thickness, and receives the matching face of the second section. The interlocking outer diameter of the second section is reduced at the interface to provide for a non-distortion push-fit. The interface within the second arc of the assembled body is a reversal of that in the first arc. The assembled and interlocked interface flanges are then held in place by bolts inserted through radial holes (22,24) in the flanges.</p> |
