There are several kinds of brakes: disk, drums, cables wrapped around axels, shoes on wheels, and many more. Aircraft typically use disk and multi-disks (stacks of rotor and stator disks). What happens in brakes is interesting. The kinetic energy of the airplane when it touches down is almost entirely absorbed by the materials (shoes and disks) and turned into thermal energy. Thus the materials of the brakes must be very high temperature AND have high heat capacity. Racecars often use carbon-carbon breaks. Brakes often glow red hot in use.

What type of Wheel brakes are used to stop the aircraft on the runway?
Aircraft have disc brakes, but they're different from automotive disc brakes: the calipers are the same size as the rotors and they have pads going all the way around. On a really big plane, like an airliner, there are multiple discs.

What year did they start disc brakes on jeep?
Wagonners, pickups, and the Jeepster had disc brakes in 1972. The CJ did not get disc brakes until 1977.
What are the different types of disc brakes available for bikes?
The different types of disc brakes available for bikes are mechanical disc brakes and hydraulic disc brakes. Mechanical disc brakes use a cable to actuate the brake caliper, while hydraulic disc brakes use fluid to transfer force from the brake lever to the caliper. Both types offer improved braking performance compared to traditional rim brakes.
Can you replace pad brakes with disc brakes?
pad brakes are disc brakes, it's known as changing brake pads for disc setup and changing brake shoes with drum brake setup.

What GM cars in or around 1965 came with rear disc brakes?
Four-wheel disc brakes were introduced in 1965 on the Corvette. Some AMC vehicles had Disc Brakes, and the Studebaker Avanti also had Disc Brakes. I know of no other American vehicles in 1965 with disc brakes. FYI, the 1948 Tucker had Disc Brakes as standard equipment. Only 51 examples were ever made.
What are the different types of bike brake calipers available in the market?
The main types of bike brake calipers are rim brakes and disc brakes. Rim brakes include caliper brakes and cantilever brakes, while disc brakes include mechanical disc brakes and hydraulic disc brakes. Each type has its own advantages and considerations for performance and maintenance.
How do aircraft apply brakes when landing?
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.
Are disc brakes the best bicycle brakes?
Depends on what you mean by best. Disc brakes tend to offer the most braking power for a given amount of force applied at the lever. But a disc brake setup is heavier and has poorer aerodynamics than caliper brakes. And disc brakes wear faster than drum brakes, roller brakes and band brakes. Disc brakes are not as well sealed as drums or rollers, so performance will still be slightly weather dependent.
