Check out my Airbrake mechanism that will be fitted on my new 4” diameter rocket ! These 4 blades will generate 90N (20lb) of drag at Mach 0.6

The mechanism was created using 3DX CATIA Part Design, Assembly Design, and Drafting. Constraints were carefully implemented in Assembly Design to view extension when the cam plate is rotated, and waterjet cutting was prepared in drafting DXF export. 

Stay tuned for more. Avionics tray will be 3D printed soon.
