  • Aircraft brake cooling systems and methods
    Patent number: 11441628
    Abstract: Systems and methods for aircraft brake cooling are described. A system may include an air hose configured to intake pressurized air at a first end of the air hose from an aircraft propulsor. A nozzle at a second end of the air hose may be configured to exit the pressurized air through the air hose to a braking system. An actuator may be configured to allow the pressurized air to flow through the air hose or prevent the pressurized air from flowing through the air hose.
