Crane Aerospace & Electronics' advanced brake control systems have many advantages for the OEM and aircraft operator, including:
Antiskid Protection: the leader in the industry
Complete braking control from aircraft touchdown to low speed dropout
Autobrake provides the pilot deceleration levels
Carbon Brake Antiskid/Auto-Brake Control
Locked Wheel Protection: prevents safety-critical situations from occurring, as well as blown tires
Touchdown Protection: added safety prevents blown tires during landing
Wheel Spin-Down: for landing gear retraction
Complete BITE (Built-In-Test) for status monitoring
Brake Temperature Monitoring System (optional configuration)
Integrated anti-skid and auto-brake functionality make Crane’s brake control systems the industry standard for performance and reliability. Solutions are available from conventional anti-skid systems to fully integrated brake-by-wire solutions.
Crane’s brake control systems can be integrated with SmartStem® Tire Pressure Indication Systems and Brake Temperature Monitoring functionality. These systems are available for all wheel configurations and aircraft types – large commercial, regional, business jet, and military. System architectures can include either Federated, Integrated, or Distributed electronics and may be configured with either hydraulic or electric brakes. In addition, packaging options include ruggedized electronics which can be installed outside of the pressure vessel, permitting system architectures that are optimized to save weight and reduce space.
