Benefits

• Double your aircrafts’ normal rate of descent without reducing power
• Maintain engine power and aircraft maneuvering speed without build- up in speed.
• Reduce engine shock cooling.
• Smooth turbulence and quickly slow to turbulent air penetration speeds.
• Deployable at or near Vne for an instantaneous reduction in speed.
• Read what AOPA has to say (pdf)

Dynamics

• Double parasitic drag on the aircraft.
• Decrease lift.
• Minimize assymetric lift and drag reducing likleyhood of entering a spin.
• Increases wing loading and smooths the aircraft response to turbulence.
• Decreases lift allowing for better control in crosswinds and assists with braking.

Technical

• Installed wight: (9 lbs.)
• Average descent with SpeedBrakes deployed: (1500-1900 fpm)
• Average installation time: (15 hours)
• Electrically actuated (no cables, hydraulics or pullys).
• Asymmetric deployment protection.
• Power failure protection.
• Environmental protection.
• Lighted on/off switch indicating SpeedBrake deployment.
