  • Patent number: 5024491
    Abstract: This invention relates to an aircraft braking system which applies and regulates brake pressures automatically upon touchdown to achieve a pre-selected airplane deceleration level. Wheelspeed information signals are processed through wheelspeed logic circuits to provide an input to automatic brake control circuits having further logic circuits which, when satisfied by the presence of other signals, cause further automatic brake control circuits including a ramp generator circuit to generate control signals which are coupled in parallel with the anti-skid system to control the anti-skid valve driving current below skid levels so that braking pressure is increased at a controlled rate to achieve the above-mentioned pre-selected airplane deceleration level.

  • Patent number: 4681285
    Abstract: A nose landing gear supported deflector for preventing ingestion of nose wheel side spray into wing-mounted engines. The deflector extends horizontally with respect to the runway surface and in front of the nose wheels while permitting landing gear and deflector retraction into the nose gear wheel well through the nose gear doorway. A four-point deflector attachment method permits nose wheel and tire changes without requiring removal of the entire deflector assembly.
