Also using carbon brakes are all current production Airbus families, Boeing 747-400, 777, 757-300 and current production 767 aircraft. Carbon brakes on aircraft are nothing new. They are used mainly because they have higher operating temperatures and lower weight. During rejected takeoff testing on aircraft, temperatures can reach 5,000 degrees ferenheight.

When did the KC-135 grow the extra wheels?
