3. Aircraft Braking System Companies - Safran (France), Collins Aerospace (US) are the Key Players

Aircraft Braking Systems are among the most vital parts of all types of aircraft, such as narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, business jets, cargo aircraft, military aircraft, and fighter jets. These systems are part of the landing gear used by aircraft wheels while landing and are responsible for safe landing and making the flight a safe and reliable mode of transport. The braking system in a flight is operated via hydraulics or pneumatically; modern electric brakes are operated electrically with the help of braking systems. A typical aircraft brake converts motion into heat energy due to friction. As a result, a significant amount of heat is generated onto the braking component. Proper equipment, maintenance, and regular inspection of aircraft brakes are necessary for the safe, effective, and efficient operation of an aircraft. A modern aircraft uses a basic disc braking system in which a disc is attached to the rotating wheel. A caliper at a fixed position produces friction which brings the aircraft to a stationary position. Weight, size, and landing speed influence the aircraft braking system, along with its design and complexity. The safety of aircraft has led to the increased deployment of aircraft braking systems to optimize their performance and ensure improved operational safety and efficiency.

The Aircraft Braking System Market is projected to grow from USD 6.4 Billion in 2022 to USD 7.6 Billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period. The dynamics of the aircraft braking system market are influenced by events in the aerospace industry and global trade. With advancements in technology, the braking systems that will be adopted in aircraft are expected to increase. New materials are being developed to make braking systems more advanced and light weight with more endurance. These factors will also drive the market in the future.
