Le freinage atmosphérique (ou aérofreinage) est une technique économique qui consiste à utiliser l'atmosphère d'une planète pour modifier l'orbite d'une sonde spatiale. En général, on utilise l'aérofreinage pour circulariser une orbite et diminuer sa période de révolution (c'est à dire le temps mis par la sonde pour boucler un tour). 4, record 1, French, - a%C3%A9rofreinage

Thomson-CSF has been selected by Airbus Industrie to provide flight control computers to equip the A310 Airbus. The prime function of these computers will be to monitor the control surfaces (there are fourteen flight control surfaces on the upper surface of the wing and two low-speed ailerons), to aid in-flight aileron control, aerodynamic braking and lift dumping at landing. 1, record 2, English, - aerodynamic%20braking

Thomson-CSF a été choisie par Airbus Industrie pour la fourniture des calculateurs de commandes de vol électriques destinés à équiper l'Airbus A310. Le rôle principal de ces calculateurs sera d'assurer la commande et la surveillance des gouvernes (quatorze surfaces d'extrados de voilure et deux ailerons basse vitesse) servant au gauchissement en vol, au freinage aérodynamique et à la destruction de portance à l'atterrissage. 1, record 2, French, - freinage%20a%C3%A9rodynamique
