Coordinated nose and main wheel steering with sliding mode control cuts aircraft taxi turning radius and runway space use.
During hydroplaning, paired brake pressure modulation releases the locked wheel and trims the opposite brake to reduce aircraft yaw.
A controller sets emergency brake force from aircraft and runway conditions to limit skidding and tyre bursts during landing.
Synchronized excitation and subsampling measure wheel speed accurately while avoiding fast ADCs and heavy processing.
Dynamic emergency brake limits based on aircraft and runway conditions help prevent tyre skidding and bursts during landing.
When one aircraft wheel locks, paired-wheel brake pressure is reduced to balance braking forces and limit yaw during landing.
A series piezoelectric actuator modulates aircraft brake pressure faster than hydraulics alone, cutting energy loss and wear in anti-skid braking.
A hybrid actuator pairs conventional brake stroke with piezoelectric pressure modulation for faster aircraft anti-skid response and lower wear.
A parallel dump valve gives aircraft brakes a direct hydraulic release path, cutting wheel lockup response time while preserving servo-valve control.
Distributed electro-hydraulic and electro-mechanical actuators cut hydraulic tubing, fluid weight, and maintenance in nose landing gear.
Localized electro-hydraulic and electro-mechanical actuators reduce hydraulic fluid, aircraft weight, and leak-prone nose gear maintenance.
A single actuator and calibrated brake cables simplify emergency autoland braking while balancing wheel pressure and preserving pilot input.
