Abstract
A structural arrangement is provided in conjunction with the upper closure of a missile cell which, upon launch of the missile, generates a rarefaction wave which assists in closing the bottom closure of the missile cell. As a result, reverse flow of exhaust gases back up into the missile chamber from an associated plenum chamber is prevented or minimized.
