What component of the anti-skid system provides wheel speed information?

The component that provides wheel speed information in the anti-skid system is the wheel transducer. This device is integral to the anti-skid braking system as it measures the rotational speed of each wheel on the aircraft. By monitoring wheel speed, the transducer can detect when a wheel is beginning to skid during braking.

The information collected by the wheel transducer is crucial because it enables the anti-skid system to function effectively. If the system detects that a wheel is starting to lose traction, it can automatically modulate the brakes to prevent a skid, thereby enhancing safety and control during landing and takeoff.

In contrast, other components such as the control box processes input from multiple sensors, including wheel transducers, to manage braking actions, while the brake assembly is the actual braking mechanism and the dual skid control valves are responsible for regulating brake pressure. However, it is the wheel transducer that specifically provides the necessary data regarding wheel speed to support these functions.
