Demands placed on performance and reliability of all components, in particular landing gear system, are reviewed; brake systems have progressed from organic, lined, automotive-type shoe brakes, used on DC-3 aircraft, to high-performance, multiple-disk, ceramic-metallic brakes used on present-day jet aircraft; brake design energies have increased more than 50-fold during past three decades; cost of operation of commercial aircraft wheel and brake has been and will be dominant factor in creation of effective designs for wheel and brake equipment.
