All modern commercial aircraft have automatic brake systems. Just like a car, these systems also have an anti-lock braking system (ABS) that prevents the tires from sliding down a wet runway. The advantage of the automatic brake system is that the aircraft brakes comfortably at a constant deceleration.

Yes, virtually all modern commercial jetliners are equipped with an Autobrake system, which is a sophisticated hydraulic braking mechanism that provides automatic, uniform deceleration upon landing or during a rejected takeoff (RTO). Before landing, the pilot selects a setting—typically ranging from Low to Max—based on the runway length and the desired exit point. Once the aircraft's wheels "spin up" upon touchdown and the throttles are moved to idle, the system automatically applies the wheel brakes at a constant deceleration rate. This allows the pilot to focus on other critical tasks, such as maintaining directional control and managing the engine thrust reversers. A major safety feature of the autobrake is the RTO (Rejected Takeoff) mode; if the pilot aborts the takeoff at high speed, the system instantly applies maximum braking force, which is far more efficient and faster than a human could achieve manually. Pilots can "disarm" the autobrake at any time during the rollout by simply stepping on the manual toe brakes, which tells the computer that the human pilot is ready to take over steering and stopping.
