1. A brake energy balancing system for controlling a wheel brake, said system comprising:

  • a wheel brake assembly having a wheel and a wheel brake;

    a brake torquing mechanism for applying brake torque to each said wheel brake;

    a torque signal generator for producing brake torque signals that are a function of the brake torque applied to said wheel brake;

    a command brake torque signal generator for generating a command brake torque signal;

    a torque comparator for generating brake torque difference signals indicative of the difference between said brake torque signals and said command brake torque signal; and

    an energy balancing controller for providing an energy balancing control signal to said brake torquing mechanism in response to said brake torque difference signals.
