Abstract
One of the challenges in the operation of an airboat is to insure that the boat can be stopped quickly and safely and can turn left or right as needed. This is compounded by the fact that airboats typically move on the top surface of the water and there is very little boat surface below the surface of the water. With this system a pair of brake plates are positioned on the stern of the airboat and can be rotated in a downward fashion to strike the water surface in order to stop or turn the airboat in a safe, controlled fashion.
