Jet thrust units (jato) are

metal cylinders containing a mixture of chemicals capable of burning rapidly and producing considerable pressure. Jet thrust units are designed to be ignited by an electric igniter. They are used to assist airplanes to take off.

Rocket motors are devices containing a propelling charge and consisting of one or more continuous type combustion units, closed at one end (closure may be an igniter with a thrust plate) and with one or more nozzles at the other end. The propelling charge consists of a mixture of chemicals which when ignited is capable of burning rapidly and producing considerable pressure and which will not sustain a detonation. (The rocket motor carries its own solid oxidizer-fuel combination). Rocket motors are designed to be ignited by an electrically actuated device which may be an igniter, or by other means. They are used to propel or provide thrust for guided missiles, rockets, or spacecraft. Igniters are devices consisting

of an electrically operated or remotely controlled ignition element and a fast burning composition which functions by rapid burning rather than detonation, assembled in a unit, for use in igniting the propelling charge of jet thrust units, rocket motors, or rocket engines.

Jet thrust units or rocket motors may be packed in the same outside shipping container with their separately packaged igniters or igniter components when these containers are approved by the DOT or are of approved military specifications complying with $146.02-8(a).

Igniters must not be shipped assembled in the units unless shipped by, for, or to the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force of the United States Government.

Each outside package must
be plainly marked "JET
THRUST UNIT, CLASS
B EXPLOSIVES",

ROCKET MOTOR,
CLASS B EXPLO
SIVES". "IGNITERS,
JET THRUST, CLASS B
EXPLOSIVES", "IG-
NITERS, ROCKET MO-
TOR, CLASS B EXPLO-
SIVES", as appropriate.
