Patent ID: 7300020

Claim:
A braking system for an aircraft, comprising: a controller operatively coupleable with a non-mechanical link to a leftmost landing gear of an aircraft, a rightmost landing gear of the aircraft, and at least one intermediate landing gear of the aircraft positioned aft of a nose wheel of the aircraft between the leftmost landing gear and the rightmost landing gear, the at least one intermediate landing gear including a left intermediate landing gear and a right intermediate landing gear, the controller being configured to direct a first braking force to wheels of the leftmost landing gear during a left turn, and no braking force or a second braking force less than the first braking force to wheels of the rightmost landing gear during the left turn, a third braking force applied to the right intermediate gear, and a fourth braking force less than the first braking force to the right intermediate gear, wherein the third braking force is: (a) less than the first braking force and greater than the second braking force if the second braking force is non-zero; and (b) zero if the second braking force is zero.
