Extract

In the art of brake design, many of the difficulties which existed in the past have now been overcome, and this is due largely to the wealth of experience obtained over a wide range of energy absorption rates and heat sink temperatures. Much of this experience has been obtained on brake test machines on which the essential aircraft braking conditions can be reasonably simulated on the complete assembly of wheel, tyre and brake.
