The disadvantages of mechanical brakes are overcome by the use of electrical braking, in which the motor is designed to operate as a generator, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy and producing torque in a direction opposing the motion, which is a major factor driving the growth of the aircraft electric brake control system market. However, the electric braking system cannot hold the machine after it has come to a stop, necessitating additional mechanical braking, which is a major factor limiting the growth of the aircraft electric brake control system market.
A braking system control system communicates pilot brake commands to electric brake actuator controllers, which apply or start releasing brakes in propeller groups, in an aircraft electric brake system. The solution permits separate brake initiation of wheel groups via a variety of brake system controls and electric brake actuator controllers. The electric stability control system also includes remote data investment companies, which receive and process wheel information to brake system controls via a digital data communication bus.
