WINGED ROCKET WITH ADDITIONAL DISCHARGEABLE MOUNTED FUEL TANKS Object - MKI device: B 64 D 37/00, MKI: B 64 D 37/00, 64 D 37/12

The utility model relates to the field of missile weapons, mainly to the class of cruise missiles, and can be used both in the manufacture of new missiles and in the modernization of the existing fleet of missiles.

Cruise missiles are known, for example, Harpoon (1, p. 129), Otomat (2, p. 43), P-15 (3, p. 606), ZM-80 (2, p. 85; 3, p. 566) containing a housing with a propulsion system, control system, payload, aerodynamic surfaces and a fuel tank, each of which can be taken as a prototype.

To maintain a high flight speed of the rocket, especially the supersonic ZM-80, a large second fuel consumption is required, which limits the flight range, since the fuel supply in the fuel tank of the rocket is limited. If it is necessary to increase the flight range, the solution of this problem by traditional methods will entail an increase in the diameter or length of the rocket, which will require almost the entire amount of development work to be carried out, as well as worsen the maneuverability of the rocket.

The proposed technical solution solves the problem of increasing the flight range of a basic cruise missile without deteriorating its tactical and technical characteristics, with minimal expenses for experimental design work, manufacturing new ones or upgrading the existing fleet of missiles.

To achieve the technical result, a cruise missile containing a hull with a propulsion system, a fuel tank, a control system, a payload and aerodynamic surfaces is equipped with one or more additional discharged hinged fuel tanks connected to the missile by docking and discharge units, while the hinged tanks are in communication with rocket fuel tanks overflow lines with check valves.

The distinguishing features of the proposed design of a cruise missile with additional hinged fuel tanks from the above known are the presence of one or more additional discharged hinged fuel tanks, their connection to the rocket with docking and dumping units, and the fact that the hinged tanks are connected to the rocket tank by overflow lines with check valves.

formulas), the following technical result is achieved - due to the presence of an additional amount of fuel, the flight range of the base cruise missile increases, and due to the fact that, as hinged tanks are developed, they are discarded (there are check valves in the overflow lines), the missile in the final section is not inferior in its tactical and technical characteristics to the base. In addition, the implementation of these technical solutions requires minimal changes in the design of the base missile, which minimizes the cost of development work, significantly reduces the development and manufacturing time, and also allows for the modernization of the existing fleet of missiles.

As a result of a search by sources of patent and scientific and technical information, the totality of features characterizing the proposed cruise missile with additional mounted fuel tanks was not found. Thus, the proposed utility model meets the eligibility criterion new.

The proposed technical solution can find application in the design of cruise missiles. Moreover, it can be both newly manufactured and modernized missiles, which does not require significant structural changes. Thus, the proposed utility model meets the eligibility criterion of industrial applicability.

The utility model is illustrated by the attached figure.

The cruise missile shown in the figure contains the actual cruise missile missile 1 with the main fuel tank 2 connected to additional mounted fuel tanks 3 overflow lines 4 with check valves 5 located at the docking - discharge nodes 6.

The device operates as follows. After the launch of the rocket, the mounted tanks 3 (one or several at the same time) are activated at a given point in the trajectory, while the volume of fuel poured from all simultaneously used tanks 3 into the tank 2 of the rocket 1 fully or partially replenishes the volume of fuel generated from the tank 2 to the engine. After the development of tanks 3, they are discharged via docking-discharge nodes 6. In this case, the check valves 5 of the overflow lines 4 provide sealing of the tank 2. After dumping the tanks 3, rocket 1 continues to fly, generating fuel from its tank 2.
