The Effect of Spoiler Deflection On Airplane Braking Performance
John J. O’Callaghan National Resource Specialist – Aircraft Performance Office of Research and Engineering
2
Braking Forces on a Tire
wing Direction of travel Friction (Braking) Force Ww = Weight on wheels Ww
3
Friction (Braking) Force
Braking Forces on a Tire: Spoilers Stowed Wing lift reduces weight on wheels and braking force Lift wing Airplane Weight Friction (Braking) Force Direction of travel Weight on Wheels = Airplane Weight - Lift
4
Friction (Braking) Force
Braking Forces on a Tire: Spoilers Deployed Spoilers reduce lift, increasing weight on wheels and braking force Lift Spoiler wing Airplane Weight Friction (Braking) Force Direction of travel Weight on Wheels = Airplane Weight - Lift
