Aircraft Braking Arrangements TRIZ Cases

A concave chin ring blocks brake line-of-sight radiation and redirects convection heat away from the tire and wheel assembly.

A pre-charged local hydraulic accumulator powers the brake actuator alone, cutting fluid connections, weight, and in-flight complexity.

Radar, ADS-B, and airport map data are combined to show wingtip and nacelle obstacle height clearance during taxiing.

Pressure sensing in the brake conduit reveals servo valve wear and flow faults early, improving landing gear brake reliability.

A dedicated parking lock stops the brake motor with friction or a one-way clutch, keeping small aircraft stationary after arrival.

A curved chin ring blocks brake radiation while deflecting convection heat away from the wheel to lower tire and wheel temperatures.

Energy dissipation and brake temperature rise are used to estimate aircraft brake wear continuously, reducing reliance on maintenance inspections.

A U-shaped retaining clip uses a migration stop and torque bar tab to keep an aircraft wheel heat shield from shifting axially.

A template-guided mobile image capture measures aircraft brake wear pin length to predict brake pad thickness and remaining service life.

A Z-shaped wheel bracket spreads load across the heat shield and rim to cut deflection, stress concentration, weight, and wheel abrasion.

A tapered blade reaches helical coils buried 3-5 thread pitches deep, enabling removal without housing damage or brake actuator disassembly.

Direct panel attachment with a Z-shaped bracket cuts heat shield deflection and stress, helping prevent wheel abrasion in tight wheel assemblies.

A tapered, heat-treated blade reaches helical coils buried 3-5 thread pitches deep and removes them without damaging the mounting hole.
