This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) has been prepared by a panel of the SAE A-5A Committee and is presented to document unique design approaches used for aircraft wheels and brakes.The purpose of this AIR is to describe wheel and brake designs possessing unique features or approaches to allow them the meet the requirements of the particular airplane for which they were intended. Wherever possible, the requirements driving these design and the lessons learned are documented. This AIR is intended to document the ingenuous solutions that have lead eventually to the wheel and brake designs in use today and pointing to the brakes for tomorrow.
