Aircraft Carbon Brake Disc Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Product Type(Commercial Brake Disc, Military Brake Disc), By Application(OEM, Aftermarket), By Region(North America, U.S., Canada, Mexico) - Industry Forecast 2024-2031

The aircraft brake system is typically used to slow the aircraft down during the runway landing roll. It is a necessary component for ensuring an aircraft's safety and directional control during ground operations such as taxiing, landing, and takeoff. In small and light aircraft, the aeroplane carbon brake with discs is commonplace. A non-rotating calliper is bolted to the landing gear axle, assisting in the application of brakes during friction on both sides of the discs. The single-disc, on the other hand, is inept at applying brakes. Previously, disc brakes were used in aircrafts, with a disc rotating with the wheel assembly and a stationary calliper resisting rotation by causing friction against the disc when the brakes were applied. However, as new technologies and innovations have been introduced, the electric braking system has grown in popularity. By combining brake-by-wire controlled technology with electro-mechanical brake actuation, this carbon braking system provides anti-skid protection and fully integrated brake control, including emergency and parking brake functions. In aircraft carbon brakes, two discs are bolted to the wheel, with dual discs enveloping a centre carrier in between the discs. The presence of linings on both sides contacts all of the discs during braking, allowing for safer braking, making aircraft carbon brakes with dual discs highly suitable in large and heavy aircraft, driving the growth of the aeroplane carbon brake disc market.
