Methods and apparatus for controlling landing gear retract braking

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for controlling landing gear retract braking are described. A controller is to determine an on-ground status of a wheel of a landing gear. The controller is to generate a control signal based on the on-ground status of the wheel. The control signal is to initiate a retract braking process for the wheel. The retract braking process is to decelerate the wheel from a first rate of rotation to a second rate of rotation less than the first rate of rotation.
