A three-axis attitude control propulsion device and a flying object like a
rocket including the device are provided in which combustion gas for
attitude control can be efficiently used. A three-axis attitude control
propulsion device 4, having six nozzles has a motor case 6 and three-way
discharge changeover valves 10, 10' of a valve plug rotation type
enabling a changeover of a flow passage by rotation of the valve plug.
Combustion gas 18 is generated by combustion of propellant 8 in the motor
case 6. The three-axis attitude control propulsion device is operated so
that one or two of the nozzles are opened to thereby discharge the
combustion gas 18 and the remaining five or four nozzles are fully
closed. Thereby, a three-axis attitude control of pitch control, roll
control and yaw control, and control of a neutral state, can be selected.
