METHOD FOR MISSILE TAKE-OFF FROM AIRCRAFT FOR ORBIT INJECTION OF PAYLOAD Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F41F3/06 B64G1/24 

FIELD: rocketry, applicable at an air start, mainly of ballistic missiles with liquid-propellant rocket engines.

SUBSTANCE: the method consists in separation of the missile with a payload from the carrier aeroplane and its transition to the state with initial angular parameters of motion in the vertical plane. After separation the missile is turned with the aid of its cruise engine, preliminarily using the parachute system for missile stabilization. The parachute system makes it possible to reduce the duration of the launching leg and the losses in the motion parameters (and the energy) in this leg. To reduce the missile angular bank declination, the strand of the parachute system fastened in the area of the missile nose cone is rehooked. To reduce the time of missile turning towards the vertical before the launcher, the cruise engine controls are preliminarily deflected to the preset angles and rigidly fixed. By the beginning of missile control in the trajectory of injection this fixation is removed. In the other modification the missile turning is accomplished by an additional jet engine installation. It is started depending on the current angular parameters of missile motion so that by the beginning of controlled motion in the trajectory of injection the missile would have the preset initial angular parameters of motion.

EFFECT: enhanced mass of payload injected to the orbit.
