Wheels, used in conjunction with tires, provide support for the tires and weight of the aircraft. Combined with brakes, they assist in directional and stopping control during aircraft ground maneuvers, taxi, takeoff, and landing. Brake assemblies and disc combinations are designed to properly and safely decelerate the aircraft under various conditions. Brake assemblies consist of one or more pistons depending upon the aircraft requirements.
