MISSILE NOSE CONE Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC F42B10/46 B64G1/64 

FIELD: rocket and space technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering and can be used in head cowls (HC) of space rockets. HC for space rockets is a three-layer structure from polymer composite materials in form of a two-leaved shell variable curvature, comprises an outer bearing layer of coal-plastic, inner bearing layer, metal honeycomb is composed by weight and size of plates with thermite-igniting mixture (TIM) with an oxidising agent, which is potassium chlorate or potassium perchlorate, powdered metal, which is magnesium or aluminium, or titanium, or alloy, and binder, which is colloxylin. Weight of TIM depends on weight of HC shell, heat released during combustion of TIM, average temperature of structure of HC shell at moment of occurrence in dense atmosphere, temperature required for providing beginning of spontaneous combustion process design of HC shell.

EFFECT: invention allows burning of HC on trajectory descent in atmosphere, eliminating need to allocate area for falling HC.
