1. A brake disc assembly comprising:
a structural core comprising one or more core structural features; and
a plurality of removable friction pads attachable to the structural core,
wherein each removable friction pad of the plurality of removable friction pads comprises a pad surface and a friction surface opposite the pad surface,
wherein the pad surface comprises:
a planar pad surface configured to contact the structural core and transfer heat to the structural core; and
one or more pad structural features configured to:
pair with the one or more core structural features to transfer a load from the corresponding removable friction pad to the structural core; and
extend through the structural core to contact a friction pad of the plurality of removeable friction pads on an opposite side of the structural core, and
wherein the planar pad surface comprises at least about 70% of a total surface area of the pad surface of the corresponding friction pad.
