This section includes documentation on commonly inquired aircraft airframe components and parts not included elsewhere in the Resource Repository. They relate to different aircraft systems such as indicatively their landing gear, electrical, or safety systems witth references to their respective components, parts and their assemblies (e.g. their wheels and brakes, tires and wheels, lighting and other electrical supplies, safety & rescue equipment and so on......).

Wheels and brakes form part of an aircraft landing gear system. They both serve vital functions for safe and reliable ground operations during takeoff, landing and taxiing.They are subject to extreme forces, stress, as well as wear and tear from general operation and the environment. 

Wheels, used in conjunction with tires, provide support for the tires and weight of the aircraft. Combined with brakes, they assist in directional and stopping control during aircraft ground maneuvers, taxi, takeoff, and landing.
