Emergency braking systems for aircrafts are very important mechanisms to be optimized to guarantee safety of human passengers and pilots (SDG3, SDG8), and to minimize energy and material consumption (SDG12) improving the design, technologies and materials (SDG9). For this reason, mathematical models to simulate the behavior of the brakes and experimental campaigns to test them in service and limit conditions are crucial to provide advancement towards a higher sustainability. This paper presents the study of the emergency braking operation both by numerical simulations and laboratory tests. From the experimental point of view a tribological test rig was implemented and used to determine the trend of the friction coefficient of the studied brake, to be used as an input for the numerical model. The proposed numerical model is an antiskid control system with the aim of constantly providing the maximum possible deceleration to the aircraft, continuously managing the brake pressure to ensure the highest coefficient of friction between wheels and tarmac, while simultaneously preventing the wheel lock-up. This control is managed by a properly tuned PID controller.
