English

Subject field(s)
  • Landing Gear (Aeroindustry)
DEF

A system of controls for aircraft brakes that relieves hydraulic pressure at wheels that are about to skid or lock-up.

CONT

The anti-skid system limits the braking on each main wheel independently to allow maximum braking efficiency under all runway conditions. Basically, as a wheel almost stops rotating and is about to skid, the system detects this and reduces the braking pressure to that wheel, thus avoiding a skid.

CONT

The anti-skid system consists of two dual servo control valves, a wheel speed transducer in each main wheel, an anti-skid control box, four indicator lights and a control switch.

OBS

The anti-skid system is the airplane version of ... the anti-lock braking system (ABS) in cars.

OBS

anti-skid unit: term standardized by ISO.

Key term(s)
  • antiskid unit
  • antiskid device
  • anti-skid control system

French

  • Atterrisseur (Constructions aéronautiques)
CONT

Le système d'antidérapage règle la pression hydraulique exercée sur les freins par les pilotes. Il fournit l'effort maximal admissible en fonction de la surface de la piste, en essayant de réduire au minimum l'usure des pneus et d'optimiser la distance de freinage. Pour ce faire, l'unité de commande de freinage calcule la vitesse de rotation des roues selon les signaux envoyés par les quatre transducteurs de vitesse. Lorsque la vitesse de rotation d'une des roues est inférieure à la moyenne de vitesse de rotation des autres roues, il y a probablement dérapage, et la pression exercée sur le frein est relâchée. La vitesse de rotation de la roue revient ensuite à la vitesse moyenne, et le freinage normal est rétabli.

OBS

système d'antidérapage : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Opérations aériennes.

OBS

système antidérapant : terme normalisé par l'ISO.

Record 2 1984-03-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
CONT

antiskid controller : The antiskid controller regulates pressure through each valve based on eight separate wheel speed transducer inputs. When a potential skid is detected, the controller signals the appropriate valve to reduce brake pressure. This prevents the wheels from skidding when maximum braking efficiency is required. In addition to skid protection, locked wheel, hydroplane and touchdown protection are provided by the antiskid system.
