Abstract
Aircraft velocity information signals are utilized to provide a brake release signal to one or more, but not more than half of the wheels in each locked wheel set e.g. the two rear wheels in a four wheel set on a gear, so that if all braked wheels lock up and hydroplane, the brake relase signal holds half the brakes released and when the released wheels come out of hydroplaning and spinup, then they, in turn, provide conventional locked wheel protection to the remaining wheels in the same locked wheel set.
