Trying to visualize this: Would this be like a single chamber/catpack with multiple, small, side-by-side nozzles drilled out of a single plate of metal?
Didn't the Black Knight (or another of the "Black" series of launchers) have problems because the 4 nozzles were located so close to each other that they interfered with each other's expansion/flow? I would think with an array of nozzles that effect (which I don't personally know much about) would be pretty likely to recur...
