ABSTRACT:
A system for slowing an air vehicle, including an independently supported aerodynamic drag device designed so that, after contact is made between the flying air vehicle and the aerodynamic drag device, one or more parts of the aerodynamic drag device are carried along by the air vehicle thereby decelerating the air vehicle, so that a majority of a kinetic energy dissipation of a combination of the air vehicle and the aerodynamic drag device is due to an aerodynamic drag of the aerodynamic drag device.
