An aircraft braking system includes a brake disk stack ( 22 ) that has at least one brake rotor ( 26 ) rotatable with an aircraft wheel ( 16 ) and at least one brake stator ( 24 ), at least one actuator ( 36 ) movable in response to a braking command to compress the brake disk stack ( 22 ) and slow the wheel ( 16 ), at least one actuator motor ( 32 ) operably connected to the at least one actuator ( 36 ) for moving the at least one actuator ( 36 ), a generator ( 40, 82, 100 ) having a generator rotor ( 42 ) and a generator stator ( 44 ), the generator ( 40, 82, 100 ) being operably connectable to the aircraft wheel ( 16 ) such that said generator rotor ( 42 ) rotates when the wheel ( 16 ) rotates, and a controller ( 50 ) electrically connected to the generator ( 40, 82, 100 ) and the at least one actuator motor ( 32 ). Also a method of generating electrical power from an aircraft wheel ( 16 ).
