BRAKE PANEL FOR A DETONATOR OR A PROJECTILE
First Claim
1. Brake panel for a projectile, which projectile is designed for firing from a launcher, wherein those surfaces of the brake panel which are facing in the direction of travel of the projectile are wholly or partially angled in such a way that the normal from the said surfaces is not parallel with the centre line of the projectile in order to reduce or counteract the Magnus torque generated during the extension of the brake panel and after the extension of the brake panel.

Abstract
The invention relates to a brake panel (3, 3′) for a projectile (1), in which those surfaces (A) of the brake panel (3, 3′) which are facing in the direction of travel of the projectile are wholly or partially angled in such a way that the normal from the said surfaces (A) is not parallel with the centre line (C) of the projectile (1) in order to reduce or counteract the Magnus torque generated during and after the extension of the brake panel (3, 3′). The invention further relates to a detonator (2) for a projectile (1) and a projectile (1) comprising such a brake panel.
