aerodynamic brake

An atmosphere can be used to slow a spacecraft by aerodynamic braking.

I was talking about aerodynamic braking in the Martian atmosphere."

The pilots applied aerodynamic braking to help slow down the vehicle.

Parachuting is essentially falling but with an aerodynamic braking surface.

For additional protection, he invented a system consisting of aerodynamic brakes on the blade tips.

"Use aerodynamic braking all you can, and use every inch of the runway.

Aerodynamic braking is performed immediately after the rear wheels (main mounts) touch down, but before the nose wheel drops.

Deflecting the wing flaps down and ailerons up on both sides simultaneously provided for aerodynamic braking.

Aerodynamic braking is a method used in landing aircraft to assist the wheel brakes in stopping the plane.

During the descent, it employed aerodynamic braking followed by parachute braking and ending with atmospheric braking.

Additional aerodynamic brakes under the aft fuselage made landing safer by allowing pilots to use higher thrust settings, and were also useful for dive attacks.

The original dive brake was found ineffective and was removed in favour of extending the landing gear to act as an aerodynamic brake.

In powered parachute mode it uses a Shuttle GRX canopy and is controlled with aerodynamic brakes.

By the time SRE-1 descended to an altitude of 5 km, aerodynamic braking had considerably reduced its velocity to 101 m/s (364 km/h).

It consisted of a spherical 1.2 m diameter landing capsule, a 2.9 m diameter conical aerodynamic braking shield, a parachute system and retro-rockets.

"If we use aerodynamic braking, it's cheaper to send a kilogram to Phobos or Deimos than to the far side of the Moon," Bobby Bui volunteered.

Aerodynamic braking is a common braking technique during landing, which can also help to protect the wheel brakes from excess wear, or from locking-up and sending the craft sliding out of control.
