An arrangement for reducing the base drag in projectiles constructed pursuant to the high-low pressure system including a gas-generating charge, a chamber with a pressure-reducing component, and a discharge aperture provided in the base wall. In the arrangement for the reduction of the base drag in projectiles, the charge is annularly shaped, the pressure-reducing component is formed as a tube axially extending through the charge and possesses a multiplicity of nozzles. Through the provision of the large number or multiplicity of nozzles, the tube, which separates the high-pressure space from the low-pressure space, a relatively gentle gas jet exits from the bottom of the projectile. For this purpose, of significance is the swirling of the individual gas jets in the low-pressure space in accordance with the principle of the countercurrent process. The vacuum in the region of the projectile base is reduced to a minimum due to the gentle jet. |
