3. MotoGP should utilize Air brakes

MotoGP should utilize Air brakes

I got nothing better to do so I'm gunna math this out even though this post is a day old at this point.

Long story short to be able to slow a MotoGP bike at the same rate as the current brakes, the air brakes would need to be at least 60267.42 meters2. This is equivalent to a square that is 245.49 meters by 245.49 meters.

For reference the Statue of Liberty is about 100 meters tall so the air brake would need to be about 2.5 Statue of Liberty's tall and 2.5 Statue of Liberty's wide. It would then need to somehow tuck away motorcycle size again.

Here are my calculations:
