OverviewThe BCS 355 aircraft brake cooling fan is designed for independent apron operation and provides rapid, targeted cooling of landing gear brake assemblies. The high-temperature direct-drive fan extracts hot air from the rim via a height-adjustable inlet; the airflow is discharged downwards for effective heat removal.
