The integrated aircraft wheel, brake and axle comprises a hollow wheel and brake axle (16, 116) having longitudinal splines (17, 117) about its outer periphery, the longitudinal splines (17, 117) engaging splines (62, 162) of a piston housing (60, 160) to effect a non-rotatable connection therebetween. In one embodiment, the piston housing (60) is connected by way of a spline sleeve (70) with a backing plate (80). A wheel (45) is rotatably mounted upon an end of the brake axle (16) and includes a drum drive (52) which extends axially to a drum drive end (52A) having at its inner diameter a bearing assembly (55, 56) between the drum drive end (52A) and an outer diameter of the piston housing (60). In another embodiment, the drum drive (152) may include a thrust flange (151) engaging a rotor disc backing plate (192A). A plurality of stator discs (90, 190) are connected non-rotatably with the spline sleeve (70, 170) and splines (17, 117) of the brake axle (16, 116) and a plurality of rotors (92, 192) are connected with a plurality of splines (53, 153) attached to the inner diameter of the drum drive (52, 152). The brake axle(s) (16, 116) is connected non-rotatably to a brake torque take-out arm(s) (18, 22, 118) which is connected with a brake rod(s) (20, 24) for attachment to a strut (12) of the aircraft Either a pair of brake torque take-out arms (22) and brake rods (24) or a single brake torque take-out arm (18, 118) and brake rod (20) aligned axially with the strut (12) may be utilized with an axle.
