Abstract
A propulsion apparatus is provided with a gas generator and a plurality of thrusters. The gas generator generates combustion gas when a flying body satisfies an emergency condition. Herein, the plurality of thrusters output the combustion gas downward. In addition, when viewed from a direction of travel of the flying body, the plurality of thrusters may overlap the gas generator. Furthermore, the plurality of thrusters may control an attitude of the flying body. In addition, the plurality of thrusters may reduce outputs of the combustion gas to a first output based on a landing of at least a part of the flying body.
