Most likely the rocket will be dropped until there is a safe distance apart. Then the rocket will ignite, turn by thrust vector control and climb up.someone please explain how you launch one of those things (ALBM), does the plane have to be at the right angle to make it go into space?
Or does it turn on the rocket and just continue a gliding trajectory?
Could this be a scramjet missile?
There seems to be no need to employ a scramjet for this kind of weapon.
