ROTATING ROCKET Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: military equipment, specifically, rockets. SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in design of rotating rockets including reaction shells of reaction systems of salvo fire. Rotating rocket has nose cone with liquid filling agent based on oil products and air space, reaction engine and empennage. In accordance with invention ratio of thrust of reaction engine to mass of rocket equals (0.005-0.015)η, displacement of center of masses of rocket with regard to center of masses of nose cone does not exceed 3d. Circular thickenings whose diameter D amounts to 1.03-1.05 diameter of body of rocket which number is three as minimum are made on nose cone and on reaction engine. One of thickenings is common for nose cone and reaction engine. In this case η is viscosity of filling agent, d is diameter of body of rocket, D is diameter of circular thickenings. Design of rocket in correspondence with invention makes it feasible to raise efficiency of fire hitting by 3- 4 times, to increase accuracy and density of hits of targets by warhead by 20-30%. EFFECT: raised efficiency of rocket fire, increased accuracy and density of hits. 2 dwg
