ABSTRACT:
Invention is an aerial vehicle that uses a centrally located aft burning id-propellant motor to supply a fuel-rich exhaust to four cylindrical engines which are mounted in equally spaced relation about the exterior of the vehicle body. The fuel-rich exhaust is mixed with air in the engines and burned to provide ramjet action to propel the vehicle. A tandem booster rocket initially propels the vehicle to supersonic speed. Tail fins are interdigitated with respect to the engines and include sections which are movable upon command for steering the vehicle. Among the advantages for the vehicle are its maneuverability and its adaptability to existing missile systems.
