Airbus A380-800 Brake Test

actually its work... even 737 emergency brake will set up fire.. this is because the heat produce when the aircraft brake.. and yes, this test work.. if it dont, the dynamo wouldnt stop..

So does this video mean that the brakes work or don't work??? I would say they don't work by looking at this video.

FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well,the most friction between the brakes
and the tire happens before it stops.
so as it slows down more friction occurs and it makes the brakes squeak harder

CRIKEY!!!

It is sand to ensure contact between the Dynamo-Wheel and the tire. All energy is to be absorbed by the brake!

Im confused as to what the sound is that increases in pitch, cause i would think that that would happen when it goes faster not as it slows down

Blow me down!

woahohoo! does landing gear normally catch fire??

The energy absorption rate is 5 MJ/s that's 5 Megawatts of electric power. How would you get rid of that amount of energy? You have to lose it to decelerate.
You could hook 5000 water cookers on that EM-brake!

Somebody call the Fire Department!

another point - you can't just dump fuel. Especially on approach, then you'll leave a fuel trail in the way of the next approaching aircraft - generally a bad thing. And if you're over a populated area, you are not going to be allowed to dump fuel.

also - E.M. brakes are basically just electric motors. Keep in mind electric motors are almost solid copper (the windings of the motor) and are extremely heavy. Airplanes don't like heavy objects. And the reason they're used on hybrids? The electric "traction" motors are there already to drive the hybrid, so it gets duel purpose.
