BRAKING CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AN AIRCRAFT

摘要

A braking control system for an aircraft having braking wheels, the braking control system being configured to receive input of signals from sensors representative of a plurality of measured aircraft parameters, and to output a plurality of brake commands to brakes associated with the braking wheels, wherein the braking control system includes a health monitoring system for determining the operability and/or reliability of the sensor signals and/or of the braking wheels, and a task manager for automatically self-reconfiguring the braking control system so as to change the manner in which the braking control system utilises the input signals in the event that the health monitoring system judges a failure of one or more of the braking wheels or sensor signals. Also a method for operating an aircraft having a plurality of braking wheels.

1. A braking control system for an aircraft having a plurality of braking wheels, the braking control system being configured to receive input of sensor signals from sensors representative of a plurality of measured aircraft parameters, and to output a plurality of brake commands to brakes associated with the braking wheels according to a brake torque distribution, wherein the braking control system includes:
a health monitoring system configured to determine an operability and/or a reliability of the sensor signals and/or of the braking wheels, and a task manager configured to automatically reconfigure the braking control system so as to change the manner in which the braking control system utilizes the sensor signals in the event that the health monitoring system judges a failure of one or more of the braking wheels or sensor signals and to control a prioritization of the brake torque distribution among the available braking wheels in response to detected events under normal and failure conditions.
