Patent attributes
Systems and methods for aircraft electric taxi brake optimization are provided. The system may comprise an aircraft having a landing gear comprising a wheel, a friction brake having a brake material coupled to the wheel, a regenerative brake comprising a reversible taxi motor coupled to the wheel, a sensor configured to measure a wheel parameter of the wheel and a temperature of the friction brake, a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with a controller, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to perform operations comprising: receiving, by the controller, a command signal and the friction brake temperature and calculating, by the controller, a brake material temperature based on the wheel parameter, the friction brake temperature, and the command signal.
