The rocket nozzle is for the rocket motor of a space vehicle. The swivel nozzle is adapted for solid propellant rocket engines. This is done by partially submerging the nozzle entrance within the combustion chamber. The juncture of the nozzle and the casing forming the combustion chamber is therefore removed from the high velocity flow of the exhaust gases which caused the considerable sealing problem along the split line. Also, as the prior use of exhaust flow deflectors and straighteners is eliminated an overall shorter engine length is achieved. With a shorter engine, the length of a solid propellant chamber may be increased.
