Abstract
A retractable nozzle assembly for a rocket has an extendable nozzle section which is concentric with the main nozzle and is movable telescopically from a retracted position to an extended position. A drive assembly moves the nozzle section into the extended position in which it forms an extension of the main nozzle. Cam members, movable by the same drive assembly after the nozzle is moved to its extended position, wedge detent members radially into a detent groove, providing a positive lock between the two nozzle sections.
