June 25, 2025
An antiskid brake control system, comprising: a brake control unit, BCU (150); a wheel/brake assembly (132,134) comprising a wheel (24), a brake stack (26), and an actuator (28) configured to apply a braking force onto the brake stack; and a wheel speed sensor (27) in electronic communication with the BCU, the wheel speed sensor configured to detect a wheel speed corresponding to the wheel; wherein the BCU is configured to: receive an aircraft mass from an avionics unit; calculate an aircraft kinetic energy; generate an antiskid brake command signal based upon the aircraft kinetic energy; and send the antiskid brake command signal to a brake control component for controlling the braking force.
