Abstract
A relatively simple, lightweight, low cost brake assembly for relatively light weight vehicles, particularly so-called ultralight airplanes which may be quickly and easily installed on and removed from a vehicle. The brake assembly has a housing to be fixed on a vehicle wheel support, such as an axle, and rotatably mounting a brake rotor having means for compling to a wheel. Operable between the housing and rotor are selectively operable brake means for applying a braking force to the rotor.
