Those are the breaks

Unless you're talking about brakes

Couldn't resist

Well... If we can apply racing car technology to airplane brakes, the following would make sense:

Carbon:
-Lighter by far than metal brakes.
-Much faster heat dissipation.
-Stronger braking with less fade.

Metal:
-Much, much cheaper.
-Might work better when wet.
-Can't think of any other advantages!

Never was that good in English

Just sat for 8 hr. in ground school.


Thanks.
