Hybrid brake systems and methods

An article of manufacture including a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• determining, by the processor, a take off phase of a flight for an aircraft;
• activating, by the processor, a secondary braking system of a braking system for possible use during the take off phase of the flight, the secondary braking system configured to operate independently from a primary braking system;
• determining, by the processor, a rejected take off (RTO) phase of the flight;
• and
• commanding, by the processor, braking of a brake assembly by the primary braking system and the secondary braking system during the RTO phase of the flight.
