ABSTRACT:
An exhaust gas management system for missile launch arrangements which incorporates multiple launch cells exhausting into a common plenum. The system provides a flow passage configuration with a transition section that permits rocket exhaust flow gas to expand to fill the channel area downstream of the nozzle exit. Automatic aft closure members are included which serve to close off the flow passages to inactive cells while providing an open passage for exhaust gases from an active cell undergoing a missile firing. This arrangement prevents back flow or recirculation of exhaust gases into the volume in the cell which is upstream of the rocket nozzle exit.
