ABSTRACT:
A radial bleed total thrust control system for a rocket propelled missile. In the preferred embodiment, the apparatus employs at least two pairs of straight radial nozzles which are disposed within and penetrate the skin of the missile and at least two pairs of tangentially canted radial nozzles which are also disposed within and penetrate the skin of the missile to provide control moments necessary to control the pitch, yaw, roll and/or the axial thrust of the missile. In one embodiment the radial and tangential nozzles are supplied by the same source of propelling gas as the main thrust nozzle, and in a second embodiment the straight radial and tangentially canted radial nozzles have a separate gas supply source.
