The Aircraft Wheel & Brake Division designs and manufactures brake assemblies for worldwide aircraft markets. Our brake assemblies convert kinetic energy into thermal energy, generating friction to slow the aircraft upon landing. During ground maneuvers, our brakes help control direction and stopping.
We built our pedigree manufacturing Cleveland Wheels & Brakes brand products, which are used on more than 80 percent of general aviation aircraft. Leveraging our reputation for providing effective, reliable braking, premier customer service, and savings on maintenance, downtime, and labor, we now provide brake assemblies for military and business aviation applications.
Our Cleveland Wheels and Brakes general aviation replacement products are available worldwide through our independent network of qualified distributors.
