Claim 18:
19. A method for reducing a temperature of a braking assembly of an aircraft, the method comprising:
determining, by a processor, at least one of an actual status and an expected status of the braking assembly, wherein the actual status and the expected status pertains to the temperature of the braking assembly; and
based on at least one of the actual status and the expected status of the braking assembly, actuating, by the processor, flow of a compressed gas generated by a solid state material via a chemical reaction to at least one airflow amplifier mounted to a rim of a wheel of the aircraft to direct entrained air and the compressed gas onto the braking assembly to reduce the temperature of the braking assembly, wherein the at least one airflow amplifier is configured to provide an amplification ratio of about 1:15 to about 1:35.
