Abstract
Aircraft wheels and brakes are significant maintenance cost items on transport airplanes. Cost can be minimized by adequate design criteria for original equipment and modernization of existing equipment through the incorporation of new technology. The four parties key to the minimization of operational costs of wheels and brakes are the Federal Aviation Admin. (FAA), the airframe manufacturer, the supplier, and the user. This paper deals with how each of these parties can contribute to this effort.
