Electric Brakes

Over the past decade Goodrich has led the industry in developing the breakthrough technology of electromechanical aircraft braking. Our core team of experts from three Goodrich divisions used the latest technical advancements in digital controls and actuation to develop a reliable and efficient braking system. 

Goodrich electric brakes will provide aircraft manufacturers and operators greater reliability and ease of maintenance. The digital control of this system fits within the infrastructure of modern aircraft and provides a smart system for routine health monitoring and fault diagnostics. Electromechanical actuators replace hydraulic brake actuators, and eliminate maintenance issues and fire hazards of hydraulic fluid. The development of electric braking in the aerospace industry is a key step in moving towards an all-electric aircraft.
