Drogue

Okay kiddo, do you know what a drogue is? It's basically a thing that helps slow down big things like airplanes or boats.

Let's say you're on an airplane and it's time to land, but the plane is going really fast. That's when the pilot might use the drogue. The drogue is a special parachute that the plane drags behind it. This makes the plane slow down nice and safely so it can land smoothly.

A drogue can also be used on a boat. If a boat is going too fast, the captain can throw the drogue into the water. The drogue creates drag in the water, which slows the boat down.

So, drogues are like a superhero tool that helps things slow down safely!
