A braking system (S) for braking a rotor (5, 9, 106) relative to a stator (1C, 1'C), said system comprising two series of brake disks (102, 104) secured respectively to the stator and to the rotor and disposed in a disk enclosure (100). The system further comprises a brake piston device (108, 114, 116) urged continuously in the braking direction by resilient return means (118). The piston device is urged in the brake release direction by feeding a brake release chamber (120) with fluid, and it is urged in the braking direction by feeding a braking chamber (124) with fluid. The braking system includes a cooling device for cooling the brake disks (102, 104) by means of fluid flow, which device is provided with a cooling duct (140) branching from the brake release duct (122) which feeds the brake release chamber (120) and communicating with the disk enclosure (100). It is provided with means (148) for limiting the quantity of cooling fluid tapped by the cooling duct (140) from the brake release duct (122).
