I'm aware that some fast aircraft possesses drag 'chutes to slow them down on landing. I was pondering a few things about these...
At what maximum airspeed can aircraft that possesses them, deploy them?
Would it be useful to aircraft to be able to deploy braking 'chutes earlier and thus at higher velocities?
This, incidentally, does include more exotic 'aircraft' like shuttles and spaceplanes.
