METHOD OF FORMING RAM-JET THRUST FOR SMALL NUMBER OF PERIPHERAL TACTICAL MISSILES IN MISSILE CARRIER CLUSTER Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F02K7/10 F42B15/00 B64G1/40 

FIELD: ram-jet engines; tactical missile and space missile weapons.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes forming of central ejecting flow of high-temperature gases from engines of central missile in tail section of missile carrier. Ejecting peripheral flow of high-temperature gases from jet engines which is hollow in section is formed around the said flow. To this end, nozzles of peripheral missile engines are embraced by two coaxial tubes which are out-of-round in section; length of inner tube is lesser than that of outer tube. Afterburning chamber and Laval nozzle are made in outer tube on side of tail section of missile carrier. Four, three or two peripheral missiles are arranged in rigid cluster together with central missile. In this case, shaped of coaxial tube section is close to square, equilateral triangle or ellipse.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of forming peripheral ejecting gas-flame flow at minimum number of peripheral missiles in cluster; increased power of point-accuracy attacks; low cost of missile carrier.
