Abstract: A process for the production of a transverse thrust in a flying object in which a defined quantity of a monergol propellent substance is introduced into a propulsion unit, which is arranged transversely relative to a longitudinal axis of the flying object to produce a thrust transverse to the longitudinal axis of the flying object. The propulsion unit has a combustion chamber, a supersonic nozzle connected to the combustion chamber and a source of heat to combust the propellant substance and produce the desired thrust for a prescribed time.
