I still plan to look into this.
Just to clarify, this airbrake will in no way replace, or even really help my car's wheel brakes.

I just think it is a cool idea, and would like to try it in real life.

The airbrake will be the size of the factory rear spoiler, or larger.
It would fold flat against the roof when there is no electrical signal going to the tailights.
Gravity and air drag would activate the closing.

The 12v ( ? ) signal going to the tailights when I brake would cause the servo to pull a cable on a pulley to flip it up.
A large servo for giant scale R/C planes would be used, or something similar.

So why would this not work, and how would you do it ?
