Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for braking an aircraft taxiing on the ground. According to the invention, if an abnormality such as hydroplaning or bursting of a non-braked wheel is detected, the speed most representative of the real speed of the aircraft with respect to the ground is memorized. This memorized speed is regularly reduced to allow braking for the whole duration of the disturbance, avoiding locking or elimination of braking of the wheels of the main landing gear. The invention is more particularly applicable to the braking of wide-body aircraft.
