ABSTRACT:
A tube launched projectile having a shaft member at the aft section is slidably mounted on a boom extending aft from the body of the projectile. The boom has a cavity in its aft end which receives some combustion gas from the projectile propellant burn and retains this gas at elevated pressure until the projectile exits the tube. Upon reaching atmospheric pressure, the stored cavity gas expands and drives the slidable shaft aft, elongating the projectile to its flight configuration.
