A brake assembly for landing gear of an aircraft includes a caliper member and a carrier member. The caliper member includes a gas inlet configured to receive a cooling gas supplied by an on board fuel inerting gas supply system of the aircraft, and a manifold fluidly coupled to the gas inlet. The manifold is configured to distribute the cooling gas to one or more outlet ports of the caliper member. The carrier member is configured to be coupled to the caliper member. The carrier member includes a cylindrical section configured to receive a stacked arrangement of stators and rotors. The cylindrical section defines one or more interior passages configured to fluidly couple the outlet ports of the caliper member to one or more outlet ports of the cylindrical section. The outlet ports of the cylindrical section are arranged proximate the stacked arrangement of stators and rotors to facilitate forced convective cooling of the stacked arrangement of stators and rotors with the cooling gas supplied by the on board fuel inerting gas supply system.
