A nozzle extension is an extension of the nozzle of a reaction/rocket engine. The application of nozzle extensions improves the efficiency of rocket engines in vacuum by increasing the nozzle expansion ratio. As a rule, their modern design assumes use of carbon-carbon materials without regenerative cooling. Nozzle extensions can be both stationary, for high-altitude engines, or sliding, for engines designed to operate at a range of altitudes.
