Source
A braking system for an aircraft is disclosed herein. The braking system may comprise: a brake assembly; a hydraulic braking subsystem having a hydraulic brake actuator configured to operate the brake assembly; an electric braking subsystem and a hydraulic braking subsystem. During a flight, one of the electric braking subsystem and the hydraulic braking subsystem may be selected as a primary braking system. The braking system may be configured to command braking of a brake assembly by the hydraulic braking subsystem and the electric braking subsystem during an RTO phase of the flight. The braking system may be configured to command braking of a brake assembly by a secondary braking system in response to a failure of a primary braking system during the RTO phase of the flight.
