The External Dual Caliper brake assembly and disc combination are designed, and qualification tested to decelerate the aircraft properly and safely during landing. The brake assembly consists of one or more pistons depending upon the aircraft requirements.
The External Dual Caliper is similar to a single caliper except that in certain applications a second caliper is needed to generate the necessary stopping power. This brake assembly and disc combination (part of the main wheel assembly) are designed and qualification tested to properly and safely decelerate the aircraft under various conditions. The brake assembly is a floating caliper-type design and can be made of either cast magnesium or aluminum.
