A vehicle comprises a vehicle support structure having a casing 440 of a rocket motor that is arranged to sustain an inertial load generated, at least in part, by the vehicle when the rocket motor is inactive. The casing 440 has a length dimension L which is greater than a width dimension W and a depth dimension D. The rocket motor is configured to generate a force in a direction perpendicular to the length dimension L. The vehicle may be a land-based vehicle and the vehicle support structure may comprise a roll cage. The vehicle may alternatively be a helicopter and the vehicle support structure be a skid structure.
