In a textile brake system, the amount of kinetic energy generated by the aircraft plays a crucial role in determining the system's responsiveness. When an aircraft moves and eventually needs to stop, the kinetic energy it possesses must be effectively converted into other forms, such as heat, through the braking process.

A higher amount of kinetic energy requires a braking system that can respond rapidly and efficiently to ensure a quick and effective stop. The system's design must accommodate this energy transformation, allowing for maximum braking force to be applied when needed. This responsiveness is essential for safety, especially in high-speed situations or short landing distances.

The other options, while relevant to different aspects of braking systems, do not directly determine how quickly and effectively the brake responds to the aircraft's movement. The length of the pendant cable may affect the configuration of the braking mechanism, the material of the brake modules can influence durability and heat resistance, and the complexity of the control system might affect reliability, but it is the kinetic energy generated that fundamentally dictates how responsive the brake system can be during operation.
