Thrust-deflection control of aerodynamically flying aircraft and missiles

摘要

In order to reduce the drag losses in manned aircraft and unmanned missiles by means of the previous structures for elevation and lateral control and the ailerons, in reaction-driven systems, the gas jet which emerges to the rear in a straight line is deflected by means of three pairs of parallel flaps, which are mounted at the end of the gas outlet tube, such that the desired flying attitude in space is maintained or varied by the reaction produced. In this case, the three control-surface influences can be replaced individually in combination with two previous control surfaces, two of them can be replaced with one previous control surface, or all three can be replaced simultaneously. The reverse thrust during braking of the forward movement after landing is maintained. <IMAGE>
