New Dunlop brake development, designed to reduce aircraft `turn-round' time to minimum involves use of air cooling by means of built-in, electric motor driven fan located in axle; fan draws air through wheel, thus creating forced circulation cooling system; after takeoff, flight and landing with appropriate taxiing, cooling time for brake without fan was 100 min from 700 down to 200 C; with fan, running time was reduced to 13 min and maximum temperature was 600 C.
