Air brakes and thrust reversers

Abstract

AS aircraft become larger and heavier and their landing speeds increase so the problem of stopping them within a required distance under a range of specified conditions becomes acute. As far as military aircraft are concerned, every technical trick of the trade can be used such as large area flaps, airbrakes, double‐disk hydraulic wheel brakes with anti‐skid units, tail parachutes and even runway mounted arrester units.
