Abstract
A method for distributing braking energy between a group of the braked wheels numbered 1 . . . p and fitted to N undercarriages of an aircraft, each of the braked wheels having a brake furnished with a stack of discs to which a load is selectively applied so as to generate a torque for braking the wheel. Each brake is equipped with a unit for measuring a thickness of the stack of discs, and in which—the setting is an individual setting of braking to be generated by brake j, where p is the number of wheels concerned, C is the general setting of braking to be developed by the braked wheels of one and the same undercarriage, Eis the thickness of the stack of discs of the brake of wheel j, and Cthe individual braking setting for wheel j. Each brake is controlled according to the individual braking setting thus determined.
