SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B64G1/26 B64G1/40 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space engineering, particularly, to space flights. Proposed spacecraft comprises airframe, piston with ledge, damper with control unit, jet engines, safety ledges and mechanical shock absorbers. Piston ledge is arranged inside damper. The latter is communicated with damper control unit outlet. Piston with ledge with is rigidly coupled with one of jet engines. Airframe has two recesses to accommodate elongated ledges with diverging end. Elongated ledges are rigidly coupled with piston. Safety thrusts are rigidly coupled with airframe and are arranged there inside at recess bottom. Elongated ledges bring safety thrust in contact at recess bottom by inner sides by divergent sections.

EFFECT: higher acceleration and reliability.
