Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement of carbon brake disks for an aircraft brake unit comprising stators coupled to a torsion tube alternating with rotors coupled to the corresponding wheel. The arrangement is organized in two configurations corresponding to operation over two successive wear strokes of the pistons of the brake ring, with a first of the configurations comprising a central group of rotors and stators arranged between a front lateral stator and a rear lateral stator, and with a second of the configurations comprising the same front lateral stator and the same rotors and stators of the central group, but arranged between a spacer disk of thickness less than the wear stroke of the pistons, and a new rear lateral stator of thickness greater than that of the preceding rear lateral stator.
