The next generation of brakes: activated electromechanically instead of pneumatically

The Boeing B787 Dreamliner is the first commercial passenger aircraft to use electrically activated brakes instead of hydraulically activated ones. A system used in military aircraft since 1998 moved into the first airliner in 2011. Depending on the aircraft model, the electromechanically activated brakes replace several kilometers of hydraulic lines with cables. As a result, hydraulic fluid is no longer used anywhere in the entire brake system. This is considerably easier to maintain and compatible with the environment. Possible leaks are completely eliminated.
