Multi-nozzle rocket description

Rocket structure

There are several types of rockets, but here is described Multi-nozzle rocket:

  • Head
    • Nose & base fuze - What ensures an explosion after impact
    • High explosive - An explosive that destroys the target
    • Igniter - It allows the rocket to be launched not only after impact, but also in the air
  • Motor
    • Cruciform propellant powder grain - Rocket fuel
    • Grain support space - It ensures that the fuel does not overflow
    • Central nozzle with blowout seal surrounded by eight other nozzles - Rocket propulsion
    • Fins - For direct rocket flight

Rocket groups

There are several types of rockets, such as anti-aircraft or anti-ground.

Anti-aircraft, unguided

It is used to destroy other planes, it has its own fuse.
