Missile launcher with missiles on an aircraft
Abstract
Abstract A ROW OF MISSILES IS ARRANGED IN A LAUNCHER TUBE SEALED AT ONE END. A PROPELLANT CHARGE ARRANGED BETWEEN THE TUBE SEAL AND THE ROW OF MISSILES GENERATES PROPELLANT GASES, WHICH ARE CONDUCTED BOTH BEHIND AND IN FRONT OF THE ROW OF MISSILES. THE PRESSURE OF THE PROPELLANT GASES IN FRONT OF AND BEHIND THE ROW OF MISSILES IS OF SUCH PROPORTIONS THAT THE ROW OF MISSILES IS MOVED SLOWLY THROUGH THE LAUNCHER TUBE. WHEN THE RESPECTIVELY FOREMOST MISSILE PASSES THE POINT WHERE THE PROPELLANT GASES ARE CONDUCTED IN FRONT OF THE ROW OF MISSILES, IT IS ACCELERATED OUT OF THE LAUNCHER TUBE. A REGULATING MEMBER IS CONNECTED TO THE PROPELLANT SOURCE AND IS OPERATED BY A DEVICE WHICH MEASURES THE SPEED OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE PRESSURE OF THE PROPELLANT GASES IS THEREBY AUTOMATICALLY REGULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPEED OF THE AIRCRAFT, WHEREBY THE RHYTHM AND THE MUZZLE VELOCITY OF THE MISSILES ARE REGULATES ACCORDINGLY.
