Research on brake torque design of civil aircraft

Abstract

Brake torque is one of the key parameters of aircraft brake system design. When braking, hydraulic oil enters the brake actuator assembly, the piston on the brake actuator is extended under the action of liquid pressure, the rotor and static brake discs are pressed together, and the friction between the brake discs forms the brake torque. The design of brake torque is too small, which will increase the deceleration distance of the aircraft and can not meet the requirements of the aircraft design field. Excessive brake torque will make the aircraft pause and transition during braking, make passengers feel uncomfortable, and make the aircraft carry unnecessary weight. Generally, the combined torque between the tire and the runway during the RTO or landing stage is called the dynamic brake torque. The torque required to satisfy 25.735 (d)parking brake item in airworthiness CCAR-25-R4 is called the static brake torque. Brake system designers need to calculate the dynamic brake torque and static brake torque requirements, and design brake actuator assembly to meet these requirements.
