The patent application relates to an improved tow line and attachment apparatus for use with a rocket motor used in carrying a line, towing a load or extracting an aircrew member from a disabled aircraft. The tow or pendant line is attached to the rear end of a rocket motor adjacent its nozzles and sustains the load to be carried during powered flight. Flame and heat exiting from the nozzles during powered flight from the burning propellant can impinge a pendant line attached adjacent the nozzles. To prevent weakening or destruction of this portion of the tow line a silicone rubber envelope is fabricated around the line.
