Abstract
Systems and methods for aircraft brake cooling are described. A system may include an air hose configured to intake pressurized air at a first end of the air hose from an aircraft propulsor. A nozzle at a second end of the air hose may be configured to exit the pressurized air through the air hose to a braking system. An actuator may be configured to allow the pressurized air to flow through the air hose or prevent the pressurized air from flowing through the air hose.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an air hose configured to intake pressurized air at a first end of the air hose from an aircraft propulsor;
- a nozzle at a second end of the air hose and configured to exit the pressurized air through the air hose to a braking system;
- and
- an actuator configured to allow the pressurized air to flow through the air hose or prevent the pressurized air from flowing through the air hose.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- capturing pressurized air from an aircraft propulsor;
- flowing the pressurized air to a braking system;
- and
- applying the pressurized air to the braking system, thus removing heat generated from brake application with the applied pressurized air.
