← TechnologyWhich outcome reliably occurs because rapid aircraft deceleration upon landing is reduced with anti-skid braking?
A)Minimized hydroplaning and wheel locking✓
B)Consistent strut hydraulic fluid temperatures
C)Reduced landing gear structural fatigue
D)Extended runway concrete service lifespan
💡 Explanation
Anti-skid braking modulates brake pressure, employing dynamic friction rather than static friction via a "modulating valve" mechanism; because wheel rotation will not fully stop under controlled braking conditions, hydroplaning risk decreases; therefore lockup is prevented, reducing loss of control, rather than other temperature or stress effects.
