ABSTRACT:
A release mechanism for facilitating launching a spin-stabilized self-propelled missile. A missile support includes a rotary turbine having a receptacle defining a spin axis, and a fixed support for supporting the rotary turbine for rotation about the spin axis and for movement axially of the spin axis. A nozzle assembly extends from the missile into the receptacle and includes a fusible joint for heating by high temperature exhaust gases expelled by the missile to release the missile, and an aft nozzle section movable away from the missile on fusing and separation of the fusible joint. An abutment on the rotary turbine is disposed in the path of movement of the aft nozzle section for striking by the aft nozzle section to effect rapid movement of the rotary turbine and receptacle axially away from the missile on fusing and separation of the fusible joint.
