G-force brake reduces the impact of G-forces on the body of up to 40%. The brake parachute reduces the amount of turns at constant sink rate. Due to its additional drag the pilot is pulled a bit behind compared to spiralling without brake parachute. Thus the glider canopy has a steeper angle towards ground and reduce altitude more efficiently.
G-force brake is particularly suited for high performance gliders with efficient aerodynamic characteristics and as well for tandem purposes.
