Disclosed is a non-legged reusable air-launched carrier rocket mounted on a mid-line pylon of a supersonic fighter or a bomber fuselage and its length is not limited by the front undercarriage of the carrier aircraft. The rocket body has opposite upper and lower elongated openings at the position of the front undercarriage of the carrier aircraft. When running, the upper cover and lower cover of the openings open to the rocket body to form a vertical passage, so that the front undercarriage can be normally placed down. After taking off, the upper cover and lower cover close to form a cavity in the rocket body, and the cavity is then filled with liquid from the liquid tank in the carrier aircraft. The configuration is similar to the Roton carrier rocket.
