Aircraft taxiing system

A taxiing system for an aircraft, said aircraft comprising at least one undercarriage comprising at least one wheel, the taxiing system being configured to be installed onboard the aircraft and comprising:

• an electrical power supply;
• at least one electric motor associated with said at least one wheel;
• an electric controller of said at least one electric motor, electrically connected to said at least one electric motor, said electric controller being electrically connected to an output of said electrical power supply;
• and
• a taxiing control computer connected to the electric controller and configured to determine control instructions for said at least one electric motor and to transmit the control instructions to the electric controller, wherein:
• the taxiing control computer is configured to receive braking of the aircraft commands during the taxiing of the aircraft;
• the taxiing control computer is configured to determine control instructions for said at least one electric motor corresponding to operation of said electric motor in generator mode when the taxiing control computer receives a braking of the aircraft command;
• and
• the electric controller of said at least one electric motor is connected to an energy absorber making it possible to absorb the electric energy produced by said at least one electric motor when the at least one electric motor is operating in generator mode,
• and wherein the taxiing system comprises a heat absorber associated with the energy absorber, the heat absorber comprising at least one phase change material.
