Ejector motor braking system

摘要

A two stage separable missile adapted to be expelled from a launch tube by a separable ejector motor and propelled along its trajectory by a flight motor ignited after the missile leaves the launch tube. The first stage includes a warhead, flight rocket motor and foldable tail fins. The second stage mounts on the rear of the first stage and encloses the folded tail fins. The second stage includes an ejector rocket motor for ejecting the missile from its tube and a braking motor for separating the first and second stages and decelerating the second stage to a zero velocity by the time it has traveled the length of the launch tube.
