ABSTRACT:
The weight of a start cartridge in a cruise missile (10) of the type having a booster rocket (60) for initiating flight and a thrust producing gas turbine (12) for sustaining flight may be eliminated by placing the gas outlet (62) for the rocket engine (60) in ducting (64, 82) downstream of the gas turbine engine exhaust (20) so that operation of the rocket (60) to initiate flight of the missile (10), through eduction, draws sufficient air through the engine (12) to accelerate the same to starting speed.
