gravity brake

As she set the gravity brake, she smiled at him and opened the door.

The launch was bucking against its gravity brakes like something alive.

Then he released the gravity brakes and the T-29 began to dash across the water, gaining speed with each moment.

Standing on the gravity brakes now, I turned to Jennings.

This time, he noted, the gravity brakes were set so that humans could operate them, not just engineers.

In desperation, Brim literally stood on the right gravity brake actuator.

At this, Brim fairly stood on the gravity brakes and brought the dampers all the way to their stops.

Then-standing on the gravity brakes for all he was worth-he eased the power levers forward.

While thrust built, Brim held the bucking, vibrating starship in place with gravity brakes.

Gravity brakes near the foot controls.

Immediately Brim put the helm over full while twisting the nose of the ship away from the satellite with generators and gravity brakes.

After this, he set his gravity brakes and started the gravs; each fired almost immediately without so much as a stutter.

On uphill landing, it would provide a gravity brake to supplement the Porter's spoiler flaps and brakes.

With a last burst of power, Brim pulled the crippled starship into a vertical right angle and activated his gravity brakes.

"Gravity brakes for reverse thrust?"

He pulled the spin-gravs back to idle, enabled the gravity brakes, and set up the control panel for a quick getaway.

Working the steering engine, damper, and gravity brakes with great care, he turned head-on for the docking area and began his approach.

"Check," Brim laughed, setting the gravity brakes.

Gravity brake may refer to:

"Going to need the gravity brakes, Nik," Brim warned through clenched teeth.

Within moments, the little starship began its fiery reentry through the planet's atmosphere while Brim carefully applied the gravity brakes.

Setting his jaw, he locked the steering engine and activated the gravity brakes, then opened his thrust dampers.

Called for battle stations, then judiciously applied our gravity brakes in preparation for entering Otnar'at's atmosphere.

"Gravity brake?"

Check valves used in domestic heating systems to prevent vertical convection, especially in combination with solar thermal installations, also are called gravity brake.
