but if that is the case how come someone hasn't invented a 'full disk face' friction material (i.e. a similar setup to a clutch!)?.Cheers

Just remembered, many aircraft have the system that you were thinking of. Personally, the only one that I have had ACTUAL experience with was in my days with the RAAF and the P3 Orion. The main wheels had a brake setup on each wheel that consisted of 4 rotors and 5 stators, and the "caliper" had about 12 pistons. Each strut had two such setups (one per wheel) and they wer farkin heavy. They would typically last about 50 landings from memory and then need to be changed.

The rotors were driven off the inside face of the wheel, and the stators were part of the "caliper". Took about 2 hours per unit to change, test check and do the paperwork. Great fun !!!!
