These are the brakes responsible for stopping a Bombardier CRJ900, an aircraft that can weigh more than 38 tonnes at takeoff. Unlike the single discs on a car, each main wheel uses a multi-disc brake stack. Hydraulic pistons squeeze alternating rotating and stationary discs together, converting the aircraft's kinetic energy into enormous amounts of heat. At around takeoff speed, a fully loaded CRJ900 carries roughly 100 mega-joules of kinetic energy, with just four main wheel brakes responsible for absorbing a substantial part of it during a rejected takeoff. The real engineering challenge isn't generating enough friction, but surviving the extreme heat. The discs experience repeated extreme heating and cooling cycles, gradually wearing away the friction material. A complete set of four CRJ900 brake assemblies can cost roughly $280,000-300,000 in new brake pads and hardware. If we scale this to the Airbus A380 and it gets even harder to comprehend. At up to 575 tonnes, the world's largest passenger airliner has 16 braked main wheels using carbon brake stacks. Those assemblies represent roughly $2.5-4 million worth of brake hardware. Airlines don't replace all of them together at a fixed number of landings each brake is wear monitored and changed or overhauled individually. At maximum braking, these brakes absorb so much energy in just seconds that the discs can glow red hot, approaching 1,000°C all while bringing hundreds of tonnes of aircraft safely to a stop.
