A braking system for aircraft landing gear including a plurality of clamping zones for clamping a brake disk. The braking system comprises an actuator, a caliper, a rim rotatable about an axis of rotation, and the brake disk, which is floatingly mounted relative to the rim. The caliper comprises a stationary inner support, a movable intermediate support, and an outer support that is hinged relative to the inner support. Under action of the actuator, the movable intermediate support moves and causes the brake disk to move so that the brake disk is clamped between the intermediate support and the outer support, and then causes the outer support to tilt so that the brake disk is clamped between the inner support and the outer support.
