HYBRID BRAKE SYSTEMS AND METHODS

A braking system (200) for an aircraft (100) is disclosed herein. The braking system (200) may comprise: a brake assembly (118; 218); a hydraulic braking subsystem (202) having a hydraulic brake actuator (217) configured to operate the brake assembly (118; 218); an electric braking subsystem (204) and a hydraulic braking subsystem (202). During a flight, one of the electric braking subsystem (204) and the hydraulic braking subsystem (202) may be selected as a primary braking system (200). The braking system (200) may be configured to command braking of a brake assembly (118; 218) by the hydraulic braking subsystem (202) and the electric braking subsystem (204) during an RTO phase of the flight. The braking system (200) may be configured to command braking of a brake assembly (118; 218) by a secondary braking system (200) in response to a failure of a primary braking system (200) during the RTO phase of the flight.
