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 center 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.
