FOREWORD
The research described herein was accomplished through review of various
aircraft braking parameters during the time period of 1955 to 1968. Work was a
accomplished under System No. 139A. The author served as project engineer.
The report was submUed by the author on 12 August 1968.
The author wishes to acknowledge the assistance of personnel of the
Landing Gear and Mechanical Equipment Division, Directorate of Airframe
Subsystems Engineering, and of the Digital Computation Division, Directorate of
Computation Services, ASD, for significant contributions to the work presented
herein.

ABSTRACT
This report describes a standardized method for analyzing end calculating
aircraft brake energy requirements. The method is an adaptation of method II
of MIL-W-5013 and requires exaict inputs readily adapted to computer use.
These methods have been used in an analysis of the C-5A, F-111, and AMSA
aircraft brake energy requirements. Programming the equations into a
computer gave very satisfactory results. The methods can be used manually
or by a computer to determine the braking energy requirements of any aircraft.

definitive than that presented in MIL-W-5013 and which Air Force engineers
can use to check the contractor's calibrations. For these computations, we
need inputs that are different from the factors listed in MIL-W-5013. For example,
instead of the energy of the mass at touchdown (Item a above) we need data on
the actual gross weight, the c. g. position, and the touchdown velocity to
determine the energy at touchdown. Instead of Item b, we need the thrust of the
engines versus time and vel-;clty to compute the energy added to or subtracted
from the aircraft from a time one second prior to touchdown until it comes to a
complete stop. All of the factors can be computed in this way and compared
with values submitted by the contractor. For these computations, the following
data is needed and should be required from the contractor:
a.
Time.

0. 25 second.

Include the entire range of landing velocities. Values for net thrust in a
direction parallel to the ground should be plotted versus time for the landing
approach, touchdown, and roll out, as shown in the example (Figure 1).
If the
aircraft has revetce thrust capability, values should also be included for
rDCreverse
thrust net force. If more than one configuration can be used for
reverse thrust (i.e., 2 out of 4 engines), values for these conditions should
also be given.

Three basic conditions for which braking is required are considered in this
report: normal landing, maximum gross weight landing, and rejected takeoff.
These three conditions are described as follows:
a.
Normal Landing
In a normal landing, the aircraft follows a 3* glide slope to point of
Rejected Takeoff
For the rejected takeoff, the starting time begins at the point of

SECTION I
DETERMINING BRAKING ENERGIES
The following procedures are used for determining braking energies. The
equations used in solving the forces, distances, and energies are given, as well
as the inputs needed for use in these equations. A sample calculation is also
given using each equation. The results of these sample calculations for forces
and distances are presented in Table I. The results of the calculations for

computation. For these computations, the time starts at -1. 00 second, and
the initial velocity is assumed to be 230 ft/sec. The thrust includes that provided
by all engines corrected for horizontal alignment with the ground, as given in
Figure 1.

Considering the initial velocity to be 230 ft/sec at time -1. 0 see. resulted In a
touchdown velocity of approximately 226 ft/sec at t = 0. 0. Figure 5 Indicates
braking application would start at a velocity of 204.9 ft/sec at t a 14.50 seconds.
