The invention relates to a system architecture for managing aircraft
landing gear and suitable for extending/retracting retractable
undercarriages, steering steerable wheels, and braking braked wheels.
According to the invention, the architecture comprises a communications
network having connected thereto extension/retraction actuators, steering
actuators, and braking actuators, together with one or more control units
adapted to control all of the actuators connected thereto, the
communications network having transmission characteristics that are
adapted to enabling the control unit(s) to implement antilock
servo-control for controlling the braking actuators.
