DIGITAL ELECTRONICS APPLIED TO AIRCRAFT BRAKING SYSTEMS.

The stopping capability of modern jet aircraft has been dependent primarily on brakes and tires. Efficient hydraulic systems have been developed to provide high performance control after landing while conserving tires and brakes. Although electronic systems which rely on analog technology have been effective, the advent of the high-speed microprocessor allows for an efficient automatic braking system which can do more in a smaller and lighter control package.
