Bombardier Aerospace installed Meggitt’s electrically actuated carbon brake system–dubbed EBrake–and electric braking controls on its technology demonstrator aircraft. The Canadian aircraft manufacturer will perform full flight-test evaluations of the new brakes and controls on its flying testbed over the coming weeks.

“This collaboration with Bombardier is significant to the introduction of the technology on future platforms,” said Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems president Ken Schwartz. “No other civil flight-test demonstrator of electric braking technology has covered an aircraft’s entire braking system.”
