"Sources said that many new technologies were tried in Agni-III – rocket motors with burn duration of more than 100 seconds, fault tolerant avionics and launch control systems. Flex nozzle control system, which helps in changing the thrust axis for the control of the missile, was also used. The mission team also tested the velocity of the vehicle that is capable of flying at 16 to 17 times the speed of sound".
As you all said we need to try again and again till we succeed. Flex Nozzle is something that facinates engineers. I wonder how it performed during the flight. It would be great acheivement if we succed in this critical technology. Flex nozzle is a engineering challenge. NASA has used similar nozzles for their space vehicles.
