AeroBRX
Aircraft’s antiskid system are controlled by their brake logic unit. In short, to prevent skid, brake pressure is modulated according to a preprogrammed slip, the difference between wheel speed and ground speed. If the slip exceeds a certain threshold, brake pressure is released to prevent skid.
The optimal slip for braking is however variable throughout an aircraft’s stopping-run, subjected to a combination of aircraft speed and runway surface condition and its weather exposure. Therefore, standard antiskid systems are not able to "extract" all runway surface friction available.

The AeroBRX brake control unit does not use slip as an input parameter. Its logic, however, is capable of continuously recognizing the varying optimal slip and applying the appropriate brake pressure. Thus, yield maximum braking performance for any given runway surface conditions.
