Almost all airplanes have hydrlic disc brakes very similar to your car. However, high-performance airplanes also have spoilers that deploy once the wheels touch the ground. The spoilers are also called air-brakes and during landing they " destroy" lift and transfer the weight from the wings to the wheels and therefore making the disc brakes more effective.

When while touching down do we execute reverse thrust deploy spoiler and apply brakes?
Only big airplanes like Boeing need to do this. They come at a great landing speed. So, to slow them down reverse thrust is deployed and brakes are applies. Small aircraft dont need this.
How do you stop the 747 aircraft after landing?
All aircraft are fitted with brakes (much like a car) -however - with large aircraft, the pilot can set the engines to 'reverse thrust' which brings the plane to a stop quickly.
Do airplanes use brakes on the landing gear to stop or reverse thrust?
they use both. the aircraft uses ceramic brakes to slow the aircraft (ceramic because of the extreame heat produced up to 300 deg C). The rev thrust is mainly used to slow the aircraft at high speeds. rev thrust is disengaged when the aircraft hits about 80 knts and from then on the brakes are used only. If you get a good enough photo of the landing gear during braking they should glow red/yellow

Why did the crew drop ropes from the aircraft when it was landing?
The crew dropped ropes from the aircraft when it was landing because they were doing a routine landing.
Do aircraft have brakes?
Yes. Aircraft have wheel brakes just like the brakes on your car. The pilot operates them by depressing the tops (or toes) of the rudder pedals. In addition, the flaps are used to slow the aircraft in flight, and many aircraft have air-brakes and/or thrust reversers to further aid in slowing the aircraft.
What is a belly landing?
A belly landing is a landing of an aircraft without the landing gear being deployed.
What is belly landing?
A belly landing is a landing of an aircraft without the landing gear being deployed.
Where is landing gear actuator located in aircraft?
On the Landing gear
Why thrust reversers instead of aircraft braking system?
Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help it slow down just after touch-down. This reduces wear on the brakes and enables shorter landing distances.
What is the landing angle of an aircraft?
Most aircraft have different landing angels dependent on weight, wing shape and stalling speed.
Are the brakes used while landing a plane?
Yes. While it's certainly possible to roll to a stop eventually without braking, the amounts of land and concrete pavement required for runways has been reduced significantly by the use of aircraft brakes.
