ABSTRACT:
An aircraft wheel and brake assembly having an axle with a circular flange in abutting contact with an annular viscoelastic vibration dampening plate which in turn abuts an annular flange of a torque tube. The flanges are rigidly secured to the dampening plate which is solid. The torque tube supports for axial movement a Plurality of stator discs which are interleaved with a plurality of rotor discs, such rotor discs being axially slidable but connected to the rotatable wheel and wheel support which is journaled for rotation on the axle. Variations of the location of such dampening plate include locating such plate between the torque tube and the motive drive piston which actuates the frictional engagement of the rotor and stator discs to effect a braking action.
