English term or phrase: backwash braking
Buenos días:

Estoy traduciendo un libro en el que mencionan diferentes avances tecnológicos. En un momento, están en un submarino de supercavitación y el personaje dice:

"I’m gonna have to risk backwash braking!"

(Porque les han sucedido mil calamidades y el submarino es un prototipo). O sea, que lo toma como la última opción.

¿Alguna idea?

¡Gracias!
