The brake force is a function of the brake mechanism, brake shoe size and materials, and aircraft speed. The brake force may be loosely construed as a friction force to be a function of aircraft weight as () FB=μBWL

Stability control systems aim to enhance vehicle stability by controlling or preventing roll and yaw instabilities and by reducing related vibrations. Roll angle estimation is essential for such systems. The first commercial stability control for motorcycles appeared on the market in 2013 (Lich et al. 2016). Current generation technology combines ABS, traction control (TC), and combined braking (CB) technologies and extends their capabilities to cornering, through a roll angle estimation. This technology works by preventing the wheels from locking during braking (cornering ABS), preventing the drive wheel from spinning in acceleration (cornering TC), and ensure optimum distribution of brake force between both wheels (CB systems).
