Most large aircraft have disc brakes located inside the rim of the wheel. Some aircraft with smaller wheels have brakes mounted next to the wheel rim. The brakes fit so precisely inside the wheel rim, that you may not know what to look for. The typical passenger aircraft brakes consist of a stack of rotors and stators. The rotors are plates with brake pads that attach to "keys" on the inside diameter of the wheel rim and rotate with the wheel. The Stators are attached to the hub of the brake and remain stationary and do not spin. The Rotors and Stators are alternated. When the brake pressure is applied, small hydraulic actuators compress the stack to rotors and stators against each other to create friction. If you go back and look at the first couple of episodes of the TV series "Lost", you will see some close up shots of their crashed airliner and there is no Brakes inside the wheels. (Obviously, the producer bought some surplus aircraft parts and didn't buy the brakes.)
