Speed Brakes

Adams Rite Aerospace specializes in crafting tailor-made speed brake systems for commercial aircraft. These systems are linked to the landing gear, ensuring that servo actuators automatically engage the speed brakes upon touchdown. With a secure locking mechanism, manual overrides are eliminated, and back driving the input is prevented. Pilots can seamlessly disengage the actuator input from the output, all while benefiting from added control and tactile feedback thanks to friction drag integration in the pilot's control lever.

Precise Control and Enhanced Safety

These systems are meticulously developed to ensure precise control and enhance overall safety during flight operations. One of the standout features of our speed brakes is their electrical interlock with the landing gear, which means that once the aircraft touches down, the servo actuators are automatically energized to deploy the speed brakes.



Tailored Solutions for Optimal Handling

Our custom-engineered speed brake systems are tailored to specific aircraft requirements. We work closely with our clients to ensure that the speed brakes we provide are precisely aligned with their aircraft models. This commitment to tailored solutions ensures optimal handling, performance, and safety for each aircraft that our speed brakes are installed on.


 

Speed Brake Benefits/Applications

Enhanced Safety & Control

Our custom-engineered speed brake systems provide enhanced safety and control by utilizing electrical interlock through the landing gear, ensuring precise deployment after touchdown.

Efficient Feedback Mechanism

Our system prevents back driving of the input, ensuring efficient control feedback to the pilot, resulting in improved responsiveness and maneuverability during flight.

Streamlined Operation

The actuator within our speed brake system is locked, offering streamlined operation without the need for manual overrides, reducing the risk of human error in critical moments.

Improved Control Lever Feel

Our system incorporates friction drag, enhancing the pilot's control lever's artificial feel, providing a more intuitive and responsive interface for operating the speed brakes.
