ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a strut assembly which may be selectively projected and retracted with respect to associated structure of a solid or liquid propellant rocket or a missile, with such structure comprising one of, for example, a nozzle thereof or the body thereof. The inventive strut may be projected either internally of the nozzle or externally of the missile body, as desired. Coolant is supplied to the strut through internal passages therein and the coolant is exhausted therefrom to cool the strut, to protect the strut against particulate impaction, and to enhance the area footprint of the shocked region.
