  • Patent number: 11940027
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20220205503
    Abstract: 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.
