Abstract
The invention relates to an electromechanical braking method for an aircraft having at least one electromechanical brake 2 fitted to at least one braked wheel 1 of the aircraft, the brake 2 having friction members 3 and a plurality of electromechanical actuators 4, each actuator 4 comprising a pusher 5 suitable for being moved by means of an electric motor 6 to selectively apply a pressing force on the friction members 3. According to the invention, for a given braking operation, a total braking force to be applied against the friction members 3 of the brake is distributed in non-uniform manner amongst the actuators 4 of the brake, such that at least two actuators 4 apply respective different forces.
