Kavlico’s Speed Brake meets the small envelope, minimum weight, built in redundancy for safety and high reliability demanded by today’s aerospace industry. The design of the Speed Brake contains many features common to Kavlico’s overall line of pilot control products. The Speed Brake’s high reliability and durability has been verified through extensive environmental and endurance testing.

Once the Speed Brake lever has been disengaged from the stow position detent, there are no further position detents, allowing for smooth motion with sufficient friction to prevent lever creep during all operational vibration conditions. The Speed Brake may be specified with either three or four RVDT’s to comply with the application-specific requirements of each system. Command signals generated are output via two Mil Std 38999 connectors.
