ABSTRACT:
A flying vehicle or projectile for transporting a plurality of useful loads which are to be expelled at a predetermined point of the flight path. The flying projectile or transport vehicle includes a useful load chamber that is defined by a cylindrically-shaped housing and includes means for expelling the useful load. The cylindrically shaped housing is formed by means of a plurality of mutually joined segments 13, 13' which are detachable from each other and which form a cylindrical housing surface. The individual segments have hook-shaped extensions 15, 15' through which a rod lockingly extends. Upon the predetermined ignition of a pyrotechnic charge a force is formed by the charge which causes each rod to move so as to unlock the mutually joined segments which thereupon detach themselves from each other to permit the expulsion of the useful loads.
