An aircraft brake assembly (10) includes a plurality of spaced carbon stators (14), one of the stators (14) being a carbon pressure plate (22), a plurality of carbon rotors (18) extending into spaces between the plurality of spaced carbon stators (14) and forming with the stators (14) a brake stack, at least one piston (20) mounted adjacent the brake stack for driving the carbon pressure plate (22) into contact with one of the plurality of carbon rotors (18), and a metal pressure plate (36) mounted between the carbon pressure plate (22) and the at least one piston (20). Also a method of braking an aircraft using such an assembly (10).
