2. Propair Flight 420 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propair_Flight_420

   Investigators found out that when pressures were added to the brakes, then there would be an increase in drag force and temperature on the assembly. Examination on the brake assembly of Flight 420 revealed that at the time, the brake assembly was exposed to a temperature of more than 600 °C (1,112 °F), which indicated that there was a ...

3. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

   Disk electromagnetic brakes are used on vehicles such as trains, and power tools such as circular saws, to stop the blade quickly when the power is turned off.A disk eddy current brake consists of a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal disc attached to the axle of the vehicle's wheel, with an electromagnet located with its poles on each side of the disk, so the magnetic field passes through the ...

4. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   Brake fade can be a factor in any vehicle that utilizes a friction braking system including automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, airplanes, and bicycles. Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disc ...

5. Air brake (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_brake_(aeronautics)

   In aeronautics, air brakes or speed brakes are a type of flight control surface used on an aircraft to increase the drag on the aircraft. [1] When extended into the airstream, air brakes cause an increase in the drag on the aircraft. When not in use, they conform to the local streamlined profile of the aircraft in order to help minimize drag. [2]

6. Brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

   Pedal travel is influenced by the fluid displacement of the brake and other factors. Drag – Brakes have varied amount of drag in the off-brake condition depending on design of the system to accommodate total system compliance and deformation that exists under braking with ability to retract friction material from the rubbing surface in the ...

7. Electromagnetic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_brake

   Electromagnetic brakes or EM brakes are used to slow or stop vehicles using electromagnetic force to apply mechanical resistance (friction). They were originally called electro-mechanical brakes but over the years the name changed to "electromagnetic brakes", referring to their actuation method which is generally unrelated to modern electro-mechanical brakes.
