Airbrakes on Rockets
Airbrakes on Rockets
Airbrakes are aerodynamic surfaces that can be deployed to increase drag on a rocket. By increasing drag, airbrakes can slow down the rocket, which in turn affects its velocity and apogee (the highest point in its trajectory).

Play this interactive simulation of how airbrakes are used for altitude control. By clicking on the screen or pressing the space key, you can toggle air brakes on or off to reach your target altitude of 270 meters.
Even though a flight computer has to control it in 3 dimensions in real time, you can slow down the game speed to make playing easier.
