ALTHOUGH assisted by such agencies as aerodynamic drag and engine reverse thrust, slowing and stopping a modern aircraft on the ground is achieved principally by the use of wheel brakes to generate a horizontal drag force between the tyres and the ground. In the braking process the aircraft kinetic energy is converted to heat energy in the brakes by the application of hydraulic power to the brake discs to create friction. The heat energy is dissipated by natural or forced cooling.
