Tail Skids
The aircraft anti-skid system is an essential component in the wheel and brake system. Made with rubber or other durable materials, a skid block makes contact with the aircraft’s front tire upon retraction and stops the wheel’s spin, ensuring nearby components aren’t damaged. Browse our selection of anti-skid systems from top manufacturers like Jamco Corporation, GE Aviation, and TE Connectivity Corporation to ensure you have aircraft skid blocks in your hangar for maintenance and repairs.913 results | Page 4 of 46

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an aircraft skid block?
A skid block is a crucial part of the wheel and brake system, designed to protect the landing gear after takeoff. After the landing gear is retracted into the aircraft’s fuselage, the skid blocks stop the front tire’s rotation. A skid block isn’t needed for rear tires because they have their own braking system.
