Abstract
A method is provided for optimizing requirements for brake size, complexity, and heat dissipation capability in an aircraft, wherein the aircraft is powered during ground travel by an onboard wheel drive assembly, including controllable drive means, mounted on at least one aircraft wheel, and ground travel is controlled by the pilot to move the aircraft on the ground without relying on the operation of the aircraft engines, while substantially minimizing brake use between landing and takeoff. Brakes can be optimally sized and configured to meet landing and taxi requirements, resulting in reduced brake size and complexity and increased effective heat dissipation. Substantially minimizing brake use during taxi produces improved brake cooling, substantially eliminating delays caused by slow brake heat shedding and enables rapid aircraft turnaround between landing and takeoff.
