How Landing Gear Works | Part 1 : Brakes

Note: While making this video, we only considered simultaneous brake applications (left and right main landing gear brakes together) and did not consider differential braking. Therefore, the bus pedal mechanism was simplified with a single transverse control rod. However, two control rods connect the left and right brake pedals to allow differential braking. We will remodel the bus pedal mechanism and explain the differential brakes in the steering control chapter of the series. Until then we request the viewers to ignore differential brakes while watching this video. Thanks for the support.
