    Abstract: A valve assembly may comprise: a housing defining an inlet port, an outlet port, a solenoid valve inlet port, and a solenoid valve outlet port, the inlet port in fluid communication with the solenoid valve inlet port; a shutoff valve disposed in the housing, the shutoff valve including a shutoff valve inlet port in fluid communication with the inlet port and a shutoff valve outlet port in fluid communication with the outlet port, and a second shutoff valve inlet port in fluid communication with the solenoid valve outlet port; a filter disposed downstream of the valve inlet port; and a check valve disposed between the shutoff valve outlet port and the outlet port of the housing.

    Abstract: An autobrake system includes a brake control unit (BCU), and a control knob in electronic communication with the BCU. The BCU is configured to receive a position signal from the control knob, the position signal corresponding a position of the control knob. The BCU is configured to select a braking deceleration based upon the position signal, wherein the braking deceleration continuously changes between a minimum braking deceleration and a maximum deceleration in response to the control knob moving between a first position and a second position for fine tuning of the braking deceleration.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for shutoff valve control are provided. The system may receive a first hardware logic input, a second hardware logic input, and a weight-on-wheels (WOW) status wherein each of the first hardware logic input, the second hardware logic input, and the WOW status report a binary true or a false. The system may open the shutoff valve when each of the first hardware logic input, the second hardware logic input, and the WOW status report true. The system may close the shutoff valve when any of the first hardware logic input, the second hardware logic input, and the WOW status report false.

    Abstract: A brake control system of the present disclosure calibrates a servo valve and calculates a calibrated transfer function associated with the servo valve for precise braking in open-loop mode. The calibration steps may include determining i) whether an aircraft is on a ground surface, ii) whether the aircraft is not moving relative to the ground surface, and iii) whether braking is applied to a brake system of the aircraft. The brake control unit may calibrate the servo valve in response to the brake control unit determining that i) the aircraft is on the ground surface, ii) the aircraft is not moving relative to the ground surface, and iii) the braking is not applied to the brake system of the aircraft. The calibration process includes sending two or more test currents to the servo valve, and determining braking pressures associated with those test currents to calculate the transfer function.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for antiskid brake control include a brake control unit (BCU) configured to generate a brake command signal adjusted for a wide range of brake coefficient of friction based upon a real-time aircraft kinetic energy value. A method for antiskid brake control includes receiving, by a BCU, an aircraft mass and a wheel speed signal. The BCU determines an aircraft speed based upon the wheel speed signal and calculates the aircraft kinetic energy using the aircraft speed and aircraft mass. One or more antiskid parameters (e.g., proportional gain, a derivative gain, and/or deceleration target value) are adjusted based upon the aircraft kinetic energy to generate, by the brake control unit, an optimal antiskid brake command signal.

    Abstract: A brake wear component is disclosed. In various embodiments, the component includes a linear position sensor disposed within a housing and configured to contact a pressure plate of a brake mechanism; a bias element coupled to the linear position sensor and configured to bias the linear position sensor a distance away from the pressure plate during a deactivated state; and an actuating mechanism coupled to the linear position sensor and configured to translate the linear position sensor toward the pressure plate during an activated state.
