Carbon carbon brake disks were introduced on the Concorde = years ago=20 because
they are light, can tolerate high temperatures while = retaining=20 strength and
stiffness, and store large amounts of heat because of = high=20 specific heat and
high temperature capability. The high thermal = conductivity=20 also carries
head from the surface into depth very well making carbon = carbon=20 particularly
well suited for brakes.

So how about carbon = carbon brake=20 disks to replace those boat anchors, er,
steel brake disks we all = have=20 attached to our wheels? It could save a lot
of weight and add a bit = of high=20 tech exotica to our aircraft. :-)

All it takes is cubic = quantities of=20 money, but think of the hangar flying
that would result!
