A rocket pod is a launcher that contains several [[unguided rocket]]s held in individual tubes, designed to be used by [[attack aircraft]] or [[attack helicopter]]s for [[close air support]]. In many cases, rocket pods are [[Drag (physics)|streamline]]d to reduce [[aerodynamic drag]]. The first pods were developed immediately after World War II, as an improvement over the previous arrangement of firing rockets from rails, racks or tubes fixed under the wings of aircraft. Early examples of pod-launched rockets were the US [[Folding-Fin Aerial Rocket]] and the French [[SNEB]].<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20070206192836/http://www.vectorsite.net/twbomb_07.html Vectors Website - 7.0 Unguided Rockets]}}.</ref>
