	Motorcycle Brake Pads -- Recommendations and Resources
		A drum brake is a brake in which the friction is caused by a set of shoes or pads that press against the inner surface of a rotating drum.
		Drum brakes with internal shoes have a particular disadvantage; when the drums are heated by hard braking the diameter of the drum increases due to the expansion of the material and the brakes must be further depressed to obtain effective braking action.
		A muzzle brake is a device that is affixed to the muzzle of a firearm, and which redirects propellant gases to either counter the recoil of the gun, or to prevent the muzzle from climbing during rapid fire.

	Air brake (aircraft) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In aeronautics air brakes are a type of flight control used on aircraft to reduce speed during landing.
		On landing, the deployment of these spoilers causes a dramatic loss of lift and hence the weight of the aircraft is transferred from the wings to the undercarriage, allowing the wheels to be mechanically braked with much less chance of skidding.
		The British Blackburn Buccaneer naval strike aircraft designed in the 1950s had a tail cone that was split and could be hydraulically opened to the sides to act as a variable air brake.

	Brake Summary
		While steam, compressed air, vacuum, and hydraulic brakes were all in use in various kinds of transportation at the turn of the century, early automobiles reverted to an older brake type known as band brakes.
		A new method of braking was required and two early devices attempted to apply the force of friction to the axle or to a drum on the axle or transmission shaft.
		Equalising brake pressure on the wheels also presented a number of problems, many of which were solved by the introduction of the hydraulic system, using fluid to transfer the force applied to the brake pedal.

	Technical details
		It is fitting, therefore, that MDI has reached an agreement with the European leader in aerospace technology Airbus Industries for the manufacture of the compressed air storage tanks.
		Air is compressed by the on-board compressor or at service stations equipped with a high-pressure compressor.
		The exhaust pipe on the MDI cars produces clean air, which is cold on exit (between -15º and 0º) and is harmless to human life.

	Give 'em a brake
		Both the ADB 225 brake, now slated for production in 2003, and the “splined disc” air disc brake technology described in the “Nuts and Bolts” section of this issue, are developments of the joint venture of Bendix and its German partner Knorr-Bremse.
		Haldex Brake Systems, whose air disc brakes are marketed in the U.S. by Dana Corp., will offer a dual-disc air disc brake in which the rotors slide in and out and the pads remain stationary, a design said to reduce rotor cracking.
		When the brakes are applied, these pads grip the entire surface of the rotor, thereby distributing pressure over the full 360° surface of the rotor.

	Focke-Achgelis
		The towline disconnected from the aircraft, freeing the submarine to dive immediately, and the spinning rotor simultaneously departed from the airframe rotor mast.
		It was apparent that such an aircraft allowed a significant increase in visual range at sea for relatively little effort, and the Allies carried out considerable testing at war's end.
		The air force was evaluating the idea of flying the rotor kite from small air force rescue boats used to spot and recover airmen downed at sea.

		During the early SEAL years testing was done with the Fulton recovery system (also called the skyhook), which utilized an aircraft to "hook" a line attached to a balloon at the top and a SEAL at the bottom, whisking the SEAL off the ground at 120 knots.
		Braking with the feet wears out the rope and makes it dangerous for the last few down the rope.
		The duck is pushed off the ramp of the aircraft and the SEALs jump after it and chase it down to the ocean.

	Flying the STOL CH 701... a primer on flap operation
		Several owners and pilots of the STOL CH 701 aircraft have asked for details on the correct method of effecting a full or partial flap landing with the STOL CH 701.
		Because the aircraft is principally a STOL aircraft, it does have certain flight characteristics, which are particular to this design.
		It can be a bit disconcerting and many pilots try to hold the nose of the aircraft at the "comfort zone" attitude and therefore lose airspeed and therefore elevator authority in the final stages of approach and as a result may wheelbarrow the aircraft on.

	Erco 415 Ercoupe
		The aircraft had twin fins and rudders that were positioned outside the propeller slipstream.
		However, because of the aircraft's inability to spin, Ercoupe pilots were at first prohibited from flying other aircraft because they had not received spin training.
		In early 1941, this aircraft was evaluated by the US Army Air Forces at Fort Sill, Oklahoma for observation or target drone roles and was given the temporary designation YO-55 before it returned to civilian use later that year.
