Browse Aircraft Brake Parts By Aircraft Model

A typical brake system features mechanical or hydraulic linkages to the rudder pedals, allowing the pilot to control the brakes. Modern aircraft use what are known as disc brakes. In these configurations, the disc rotates with the turning wheel assembly as a stationary caliper subsequently resists the rotation by causing friction against the disc as the brakes apply. The complexity of the brake system depends on many factors, particularly the size, weight, and landing speed of the aircraft.

Single, dual, and multiple disc brakes are the most common types of disc brakes found on aircraft, but many other types are used as well. These include fixed-disc brakes, floating disc brakes, segmented rotor-disc brakes, carbon brakes, and expander tube brakes. expander tube brakes are found primarily on older aircraft. On the other hand, carbon brakes are increasing in popularity among modern aircraft. Their popularity can be attributed to their weight, which is 40% less than conventional brakes. This, especially on large aircraft, can save hundreds of pounds in weight, making the aircraft fly far more efficiently.
