摘要: An apparatus for an aircraft having one or more aircraft wheel brakes, and a brake wear sensor configured to measure a wear state of a brake of the one or more aircraft wheel brakes, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a processor configured to determine a wear relationship between a wear state of the brake and a number of use cycles of the brake, determine a predicted wear state of the brake based on the wear relationship; determine a number of future use cycles of the brake based on a predicted condition of the brake, the predicted condition comprising the predicted wear state of the brake; and provide an indication of the determined number of the future use cycles to ground crew and/or a pilot of the aircraft, wherein the number of future use cycles is the number of use cycles for which the brake is allowed to be used, and a use cycle comprises all uses of the brake relating to a flight undertaken by the aircraft.

摘要: An aircraft brake temperature control system (BTCS) (100) for controlling a temperature of a brake (220) of a landing gear (201) of the aircraft (200). The BTCS (100) includes a controller (110) configured to cause a thermal management system (2000) to regulate the temperature of the brake (220), on the basis of a selection of an objective for regulating the temperature of brake from a plurality of objectives (121), (122) for regulating the temperature of the brake. An aircraft (200) includes the BTCS; and a method (300) controls a temperature of a brake of a landing gear of an aircraft.

摘要: An aircraft brake temperature control system (BTCS) 100 for controlling a temperature of a brake 220 of a landing gear 201 of the aircraft 200. The BTCS 100 includes a controller 110 configured to cause at least one fluid moving device 230, 231, 232 to drive a flow of fluid onto the brake 220, selectively in one of a plurality of modes, to control the temperature of the brake 220. The BTCS 100 may be incorporated into an aircraft system 1000 with at least one fluid moving device 230, 231, 232, wherein the aircraft system is on an aircraft 200.

摘要: A braking system and a method for applying one or more aircraft wheel brakes according to at least one of a plurality of wheel brake control functions are disclosed. The method includes receiving an indication of an aircraft speed from an aircraft speed indicator, controlling a wheel braking operation of the aircraft according to at least a first wheel brake control function if the aircraft speed indicated by the aircraft speed indicator exceeds a speed threshold, and controlling the wheel braking operation of the aircraft according to at least a second wheel brake control function if the aircraft speed does not exceed the speed threshold. Also disclosed is an aircraft including one or more aircraft wheel brakes and the disclosed braking system.
