Aerodynamic braking device, intended in particular for decelerating a space object penetrating an atmosphere at high speed, essentially constituted by a circular ring (2) made from canvas, of general shape close to that of a truncated cone but whose cross-section through an axial plane exhibits an outward concavity, and by a supporting structure (6, 7, 8) designed to apply a tangential tensile stress to the said ring in an axial plane, and preferably comprising at least two parallel rigid rings (6, 7), between which the canvas ring is stretched, and struts (8) arranged in order to retain the distance between the two rigid rings by resisting the loads resulting from the tension of the canvas.

ette invention concerne un dispositif de freinage aérodynamique servant en particulier à ralentir un engin spatial à sa rentrée à haute vitesse dans l'atmosphère et composé essentiellement d'un anneau circulaire (2) fait de toile et présentant la forme générale d'un cône tronqué dont la section dans un plan axial est de forme convexe; d'une structure de soutien (6, 7, 8) conçue pour appliquer un effort de traction tangentiel audit anneau circulaire dans un plan axial et comportant de préférence au moins deux anneaux rigides parallèles (6, 7) entre lesquels l'anneau circulaire en toile est tendu; et des haubans (8) agencés de manière à maintenir les deux anneaux rigides écartés en s'opposant aux efforts résultant de la tension de la toile.
