Study Notes

Early Developments in ABS Systems

  • Gabriel Voisin, a French pioneer, experimented with modulating hydraulic braking pressure to reduce tire slippage risk on aircraft brakes.
  • Threshold braking on aircraft is nearly impossible due to technical limitations.

Karl Wassel's Contributions

  • Karl Wassel, a German engineer, patented an ABS system for modulating braking power in 1928.
  • He developed a working product based on his patented ABS system.

Robert Bosch's Patent

  • Robert Bosch produced a similar patent for an ABS system eight years after Karl Wassel's patent in 1928.

True or False

  • False: Gabriel Voisin did not develop a working product based on his ABS system.
  • False: Threshold braking on aircraft is possible.
  • True: Karl Wassel's ABS system was officially patented in 1928.
  • False: Robert Bosch's ABS system was patented before Karl Wassel's.
  • True: Anti-skid brake control is another name for ABS.
