QuotingTengiz@tengizlabThe Boeing 787 uses electrically actuated carbon brakes on its main landing gear. Instead of hydraulic pistons, electric brake actuators use motors and gear mechanisms to press the carbon brake discs together. The discs rotate with the wheels, and the braking force converts the aircraft's kinetic energy into heat, slowing the aircraft. The brake assembly includes the carbon discs, torque tube, actuator carrier, electric actuators and electrical connections. The system also monitors carbon-disc wear, allowing brake-condition information to be provided to the cockpit.

Dr. Nagesh Ramaswamy and a University of Houston research team designed, validated, and constructed a full-scale overhead highway sign structure using retired GE37 wind turbine blade sections supplied by Carbon Rivers as primary columns and horizontal members.
Manufacturing & Process Note: Repurposing retired blade spar caps with tensile strengths near 90 ksi shifts the cost burden from raw material procurement to inspection and connection engineering; plant managers should budget for non-destructive testing of legacy laminates and for specialized load-transfer hardware before committing to structural reuse programs.
