Spring Loaded Air Break (S.L.A.B. Unit)

[SyberSmoke]

A single use, Kerbal reset able, air brake for use with reentry. With the new Reentry, it is possible to design a craft that will not tumble easily. The purpose of the SLAB Is to create a significant drag force on the craft with out slowing it down like a parachute does.

The SLAB when placed adds an entry to the crafts staging. when the stage is used, the slab will spring open creating a drag force to maintain the crafts orientation. After landing an engineer Kerbal can reset the slab much like a parachute.

Due to it's purpose, the SLAB should Also have a heat resistant ablative coating so it will not melt off during reentry.
