ABSTRACT:
An extendable rocket launcher tube for a rocket wherein releasable telescoped concentric inner and outer tubes house the rocket. Upon ignition, the rocket releases the inner tube from the outer tube and carries it forward imparting momentum thereto. The rocket is released from the inner tube at a selected axial extension of the inner tube. The components move at relative speeds such that acceleration of the rocket is complete when the launcher tube is fully extended.
