Systems and methods for an electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft braking system

An electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft with a braking system, the electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft comprising:

• a wheel configured to allow rolling motion of the aircraft on a ground;
• a brake configured to resist rotation of the wheel, wherein the brake comprises a caliper that is configured to resist a rotation of the wheel;
• a pilot control device, the pilot control device configured to:
• detect a measured pilot input, the measured pilot input comprising selective braking by the brake to steer the aircraft while the aircraft is in motion on the ground;
• and
• generate a pilot datum as a function of the measured pilot input;
• a controller communicatively connected to the aircraft and the pilot control device, the controller configured to:
• receive the pilot datum from the pilot control device;
• generate an action command based on the pilot datum;
• and
• transmit the action command to a control surface.
