Abstract
A process for the production of a transverse thrust in a flying object in which a defined quantity of a monergol propellent substance is introduced into a propulsion unit, which is arranged transversely relative to a longitudinal axis of the flying object to produce a thrust transverse to the longitudinal axis of the flying object. The propulsion unit has a combustion chamber, a supersonic nozzle connected to the combustion chamber and a source of heat to combust the propellant substance and produce the desired thrust for a prescribed time. The monergol propellent substance, introduced tangentially into the combustion chamber to form a film of the propellent substance on an inside surface of a wall of the combustion chamber; and the film of propellent substance on the wall is combusted by a pyrotechnic source of heat arranged in the wall of the combustion chamber in the vicinity of a throat of the supersonic nozzle to produce hot gases by the combustion of the propellant substance and transverse thrust in the supersonic nozzle. An automatically operated non-return valve without moving parts prevents backflow of combustion gases to the inlet valve.
