ABSTRACT:
A method for extending a nozzle for a rocket engine is described, in which at least one second region of the contour of the nozzle is arranged as an extension of a first region of the contour of the nozzle. This extension of the first region by the second region occurs at an altitude at which the contour of the open jet of the rocket engine substantially corresponds to the contour of the second region. Also described is a corresponding extendible nozzle for a rocket engine.
