Fred,

Question here regarding a carbon brake disk.

Would a carbon disk be brittle or easily damaged by impact on the edge? The
reason I ask is that, on my older 235 (original brakes), when experiencing a
flat tire during roll-out, the edge of the disk sustained damage around the
entire outside diameter from contact with the runway surface. Obviously, the
steel can take it without shattering - but, in your opinion, how might a
carbon disk fare?
