Airbrake

In the Aerofly FS 2 an airbrake represents a controllable area that creates drag.

Other Aerodynamic classes

aerowing, airfoil, aerofuselage, propeller, aerodrag

Function Description

The airbrake is probably using something similar to this formula:

F_d = 0.5 * rho * v^2 * Cd * Area * Control

Where

Then the calculated drag is acted upon the Body at the R0 location along the X0 axis. The real formula used may be a lot more complex to account for the rotation speed of the Body.

Example Code

Caution: Requires a rigidbody with the name Fuselage
