Claim:
1. An electric brake system for an aircraft having at least one left landing gear wheel and at least one right landing gear wheel, the system comprising: a right brake system control unit configured to generate brake control signals for the at least one right landing gear wheel in response to pilot input, wherein said right brake system control unit independently operates only said right electric brake; a left brake system control unit configured to generate brake control signals for the at least one left landing gear wheel in response to pilot input, wherein said left brake system control unit independently operates only said left electric brake; at least one right electric brake actuator control, coupled to and controlled by the right brake system control unit, comprising a microcontroller including processing logic and software configured to generate electronic brake mechanism control signals, including anti-skid signals, only for the at least one right landing gear wheel; and at least one left electric brake actuator control coupled to and controlled by the left brake system control unit, comprising a microcontroller including processing logic and software configured to generate electronic brake mechanism control signals, including anti-skid signals, only for the at least one left landing gear wheel.
