MODEL-BASED AIRCRAFT BRAKE TEMPERATURE ESTIMATION

A method for estimating the temperature of a component being monitored is described herein, comprising: inputting data related to the component being monitored into a brake thermal model; using said brake thermal model to predict a temperature of the component based on said input data; inputting a) actual temperature sensor measurement data of said component and b) said predicted temperature into an estimation algorithm, wherein said estimation algorithm combines said a) actual temperature sensor data and b) predicted temperature and generates an estimated brake temperature of said component based on said combined inputs. A computer-implemented system is also described.
