Abstract
In a brake for detachable arrangement on projectiles, the brake is configured with a surface which is situated in the direction of travel of the projectile, where the surface is larger than a surface given by πR2-πr2, where R is the outer radius of the brake and r is the inner radius of the brake. A method for braking projectiles is also provided.

A projectile with a brake, comprising
- a projectile, the projectile having a detonator and a shell body, and
- a brake detachably arranged between part of the detonator and part of the shell body, wherein the brake is configured with a brake surface which is situated in a direction of travel of the projectile, where the brake surface is larger than a surface given by πR2-πr2, where R is an outer radius of the brake and r is an inner radius of the brake.
A method for braking projectiles, comprising
- launching a projectile, the projectile having a detonator and a shell body, and
- braking the projectile with a brake detachably arranged between part of a detonator and part of a shell body, wherein the brake is configured with a surface which is situated in a direction of travel of the projectile, where the surface is larger than a surface given by πR2-πr2, where R is an outer radius of the brake and r is an inner radius of the brake.
