Abstract:
A braking system for an aircraft is disclosed herein. The braking system may comprise: a brake assembly; a hydraulic braking subsystem having a hydraulic brake actuator configured to operate the brake assembly; an electric braking subsystem and a hydraulic braking subsystem. During a flight, one of the electric braking subsystem and the hydraulic braking subsystem may be selected as a primary braking system. The braking system may be configured to command braking of a brake assembly by the hydraulic braking subsystem and the electric braking subsystem during an RTO phase of the flight. The braking system may be configured to command braking of a brake assembly by a secondary braking system in response to a failure of a primary braking system during the RTO phase of the flight.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for controlling aircraft brakes. A brake control system may comprise a controller, and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the controller. The tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to perform operations comprising: determining a braking power discrepancy of a wheel (eP,i), comparing the braking power discrepancy of the wheel (eP,i) to a threshold discrepancy value, and modulating a braking pressure applied to the wheel based on the comparison of the braking power discrepancy of the wheel (eP,i) to the threshold discrepancy value.
Abstract:
A braking system is provided. The braking system may comprise a brake stack and an electromechanical actuator mechanically coupled to the brake stack. A first hydraulic chamber may also be mechanically coupled to the brake stack and in fluid communication with a first piston of the electromechanical actuator. A second piston may be in fluid communication with the first hydraulic chamber. The second piston may also be configured to translate towards the brake stack in response to a translation of the first piston.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for multiple brake actuator operation under load cell failure. In various embodiments, a system for multiple brake actuator operation comprises a controller, a load cell in communication with the controller, a current sensor in communication with the controller, and a position sensor in communication with the controller and configured to measure a rotational speed of a motor shaft.
