What system is installed on the A320 for rejected takeoff and landing?

The autobrake system installed on the A320 is specifically designed to assist during rejected takeoffs and landings. This system automatically applies the brakes to a predetermined level of deceleration once the aircraft has touched down or when a rejected takeoff is initiated. By doing so, it ensures that braking is applied effectively and reduces the workload on the pilots. The autobrake system provides a consistent and reliable amount of braking force, enhancing safety and improving stopping performance, particularly in high-speed scenarios.

The other systems mentioned, while important for overall aircraft operation, do not specifically serve the function of managing braking during rejected takeoff or landing in the same direct manner as the autobrake system. Thrust reversers aid in reducing landing distances by redirecting engine thrust forward post-touchdown, but they do not manage braking directly. Hydraulic brakes provide the actual stopping power, yet they are manually operated, which can add complexity in urgent situations. Nosewheel steering is essential for ground maneuverability but is unrelated to the braking system needed during takeoff or landing operations.
