Abstract: An electric brake system architecture for an aircraft with two or more electrical braking subsystems including brake system controls configured to communicate pilot pedal commands to electric brake actuator controllers that apply or release brakes in wheel groups. The system allows independent brake activation of wheel groups through a plurality of brake system controls and electric brake actuator controllers. The electric braking system further includes remote data consolidators to collect and transmit wheel data to brake system controls through a digital data communication bus. The system reduces aircraft weight, prevents inadvertent braking, and prevents error propagation between subsystems.

Abstract: A method and system for braking aircraft landing gear wheels after initialization of landing gear retraction. The system includes monitors, controlling components, measurement components, a fault recording memory, fault annunciation components, wheel braking system and brakes. The monitors monitor speed of the landing gear wheels and landing gear position. The control component generates braking instructions based on the monitored speed of the wheels and position of the landing gear.
