New Missile Control Applications for the Directed Jet Valve

A single-stage warm gas directed jet valve has been developed for missile attitude control applications. This concept is projected for servovalve and auxiliary power unit (APU) power control applications. The design features and performance characteristics of the attitude control valve and a two-stage warm gas jet pipe servovalve are presented. The design features of the single-stage directed jet servovalve for warm and cold gas operation are also discussed.
