Modern aircraft are equipped with braking systems to slow and stop the aircraft during ground operations. Braking systems typically use disk brakes on each main wheel, with hydraulic or mechanical linkages allowing pilot control. Disk brakes work by converting kinetic energy to heat through friction between a stationary caliper and rotating disk. Larger aircraft may use segmented rotor or expander tube brakes. Hydraulic power is used to operate the brakes through independent, booster, or power brake actuating systems.

BRAKE SYSTEM • All modern aircraft are equipped with brakes. • Their proper functioning is necessary for safe operation of the aircraft on the ground. i. The brakes slow the aircraft and stop it in a reasonable amount of time. ii. They hold the aircraft stationary during engine run-up and iii. in many cases, steer the aircraft during taxi. INTRODUCTION • On most aircraft, each of the main wheels is equipped with a brake unit. The nose wheel or tail wheel does not have a brake. In the typical brake system, mechanical and/or hydraulic linkages to the rudder pedals allow the pilot to control the brakes. • The basic operation of brakes involves converting the kinetic energy of motion into heat energy through the creation of friction. • A great amount of heat is developed and forces on the brake system components are demanding. • Proper adjustment, inspection, and maintenance of the brakes is essential for effective operation. TYPES AND CONSTRUCTION OF AIRCRAFT BRAKES
Single, dual, and multiple disc brakes are common types
of brakes. Segmented rotor brakes are used on large aircraft. Expander tube brakes are found on older large aircraft. DISK BRAKE
• Modern aircraft typically use disc brakes.
• Single, dual, and multiple disc brakes are of common types. • The disc rotates with the turning wheel assembly while a stationary caliper resists the rotation by causing friction against the disc when the brakes are applied. • The size, weight, and landing speed of the aircraft influence the design and complexity of the disc brake system. SINGLE DISK BRAKE ASSEMBLY DUAL DISK BRAKE ASSEMBLY MULTIPLE DISK BRAKE ASSEMBLY SEGMENTED ROTOR BRAKE ASSEMBLY EXPANDER TUBE BRAKE ASSEMBLY BRAKE ACTUATING SYSTEM • All brake assemblies use hydraulic power to operate. • Means of delivering the required hydraulic fluid pressure to brake assemblies are different. • There are three basic actuating systems: i. An independent system not part of the aircraft main hydraulic system ii. A booster system that uses the aircraft hydraulic system intermittently when needed iii. A power brake system that only uses the aircraft main hydraulic system as a source of pressure.
