Aircraft Simulation equipped with Magnetorheological Fluid Brakes at RTO

Abstract

　Demand for aircraft is increasing, and there is concern that CO2 emissions from aircraft will increase. Accordingly, research on aircraft electrification is being conducted worldwide to reduce emissions. The authors have proposed a non-contact hybrid brake system for aircraft using an electronically controllable eddy current brake and magnetorheological fluid brake. In previous studies, the basic characteristics and design of magnetorheological fluid brakes have been studied, but their feasibility for actual installation in aircraft has not been examined. Therefore, a model of the brake and the aircraft has developed based on the characteristics of the magnetorheological fluid brake. The results of calculations using this model are shown that magnetorheological fluid brakes can be used in aircraft.
