Editing AeroBrakeMFD

This MFD calculates the path through an atmosphere.

You can use it to aerobrake, aerocapture, skip reentry, ballistic reentry, etc...

The glide path is integrated keeping account of lift and drag.  Outside of a planet's atmosphere this data isn't available, so it's approximated from old functions on the frontal surface.

The new version has an autopilot and two graphs: path and lift/drag.

-'''Aerobrake''' is a [[MFD]] for [[Orbiter]] that can calculate the flight path of a space ship inside a [[planet]]'s [[atmosphere]]. It can be used for [[Aerobraking|aerobraking]]/aerocapture maneuvers, [[Skip reentry|skip reentry]], [[Ballistic reentry|ballistic reentry]] and many other complex aerodynamic maneuvers.
+The glide path is integrated keeping account of lift and drag.  Outside of a planet's atmosphere this data isn't available, so it's approximated from old functions on the frontal surface.
-Aerobrake [[MFD]] was started by [[jarmonik|Jarmo Nikkanen]] as an integrated part of [[Interplanetary MFD]]. Jarmonik detached it from the larger [[MFD]] and release the source code to the community for further use. [[Gregorio Piccoli]] took on the role of compiling that code as an independent [[MFD]].
