So it is possible to use both carbon and steel brakes. But there are obvious differences in the middle. Why is the choice of carbon brake more logical?

What are the features that make carbon brakes more useful?

All contemporary commercial aircraft have automatic braking systems.

These systems have the brake system (ABS), which prevents tires from slipping on the wet track, just to a car. The biggest advantage of the automatic braking system is that the aircraft cuts the face with a constant slowdown.

The wheel brakes are automatically activated for this face to cut or slow down. In other words, in the last stage of the pilot braking, both brake pedals press and take over the wheel brakes directly. This allows the automatic brake system to be disabled.

Let’s come to the varieties of these brakes.

In fact, steel brakes had a standard use for many years in the aviation section. Afterwards, with the high -performance military aircraft began to take place in the aviation scene, carbon brakes began to be preferred.

Because carbon brakes provide almost twice as much as landing than steel brakes. So carbon brakes are much longer. When the Kalam issue was the cost, the steels were always cheaper, but in recent times this cost was almost equalized.

Carbon brakes were improved in terms of price and this problem disappeared. In addition, carbon brakes have much more power suction capacity than steel brakes.

Again, carbons are lighter and stronger.

Even this lightness difference in the middle is quite high. For example, a Boeing B757’s load savings using carbon brakes are approximately 250 kg. In one -to -one way, the average savings in the Boeing B767 is 360 kg.

In addition, the fact that carbon brakes are at a much lower load reduces fuel consumption and greatly reduces carbon dioxide emissions caused by flight. For all these reasons, the carbon ones of the aircraft brakes are now preferred.
