The thrust and therefore the range of a solid propellant rocket missile is varied by expansion and contraction of the divergent portion of the missile nozzle. A thirty percent variation in thrust can be obtained by varying the area-ratio of the nozzle. A further control effect is obtained by venting the divergent section of the nozzle.
