'''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.
Add-on Description:
 
The MFD calculates the path on the atmosphere.
 
You can use to aerobrake, aerocapure, skip reentry, ballistic reentry etc. etc...
 
  
The glide path is integrated keeping account of lift and drag. Outside of planet atmosphere theese data are not available, so it's aprossimated from old functions on frontal surface.

New version has autopilot and two graph: 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/aerocapture maneuvers, skip reentry, ballistic reentry and many other complex aerodynamic maneuvers.

Aerobrake MFD was started by 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.
