Patent ID: 8340838

Claim:
A braking system for an aircraft comprising a landing gear which landing gear includes bogeys containing at least four wheels, each equipped with a brake, with the bogey comprising at least two axles that are connected to the aircraft by a telescoping strut, which system further includes means for applying differential braking between wheels of the landing gears and wherein the means include a differential braking calculator making it possible to select, from among the different wheels of each landing gear, the wheels to be braked and those not to be braked when the aircraft makes a turn, in accordance with the centering of the wheels of the landing gear in relation to the straight line linking the center of rotation of the turn to the barycenter of the landing gear of the aircraft said differential braking calculator being adapted to adapt a differential braking when a straight line linking the center of rotation and the barycenter of the landing gear passes between the front and rear wheels of the bogeys to brake the wheels nearest to the center of the turn and to adapt a differential braking when a straight line linking the center of rotation and the barycenter of the landing gear does not pass between the front and rear wheels of the bogeys to brake front or rear wheels of the bogeys while the respective rear or front wheels are remaining free of braking.
