1. A system for reducing a temperature of a braking assembly, the system comprising:
the braking assembly of a wheel assembly, the braking assembly comprising a plurality of friction disks;
an airflow amplifier coupled to the wheel assembly, wherein the airflow amplifier is configured to provide an amplification ratio of about 1:15 to about 1:35;
a compressed gas source comprising a solid state material that generates gas via a chemical reaction; and
a conduit extending from the compressed gas source to the airflow amplifier;
wherein the airflow amplifier is configured to entrain ambient air in response to the compressed gas from the compressed gas source flowing through the airflow amplifier via the conduit, wherein the airflow amplifier is configured to direct the entrained air and the compressed gas onto the braking assembly to reduce the temperature of the braking assembly.
