ABSTRACT:
A braking mechanism for a rotating flying object. The braking mechanism includes a planar fabric sheet having a central attachment base portion that can be secured to the flying object. The fabric sheet is adapted to be stored in a folded-up readiness state in the flying object, and, when released and unfolded, is adapted to form a braking surface that encircles the flying object. The braking mechanism further includes a plurality of reinforcing strips that each extend radially between the central attachment base portion and an outer rim of the braking mechanism and are distributed about the periphery of the latter. Each reinforcing strip extends from the central attachment base portion to the rim and back again to at least partially form two layers and to form loop-like pockets at the rim, with centrifugal weights being disposed in these pockets.
