AEROSPACE ROCKET COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B64D5/00 B64D3/00 F42B15/10 B64G1/00 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering and can be incorporated with aerospace vehicles equipped with liquid propellant engines and launched from aboard the aircraft to place a spacecraft into orbit. The proposed complex comprises an aircraft, wingless rocket-carrier, rocket-carrier-to-aircraft coupling assembly, systems maintaining the complex serviceability and a surface transport-and-boosting platform furnished with engines. Note that the rocket-carrier accommodates additionally a fairing with a wing, nose and tail cones, the latter being furnished with a fin and vertical unit. Aforesaid cones can be separated from the rocket-carrier body. Integrated strap cord, wing, center wing and its fairing make a rocket-carrier-to-aircraft coupling assembly.

EFFECT: larger sizes and weight of rocket-carrier and, hence, increased weight of space apparatuses to be place into orbit.
