1. A multi-function wheel speed transducer for an aircraft braking system, comprising:
a housing defining a hollow central interior;
a shaft extending longitudinally within said housing and mounted for rotation therein;
a variable reluctance wheel speed detector having a rotor and a stator within said housing; and
a secondary, angular wheel position and speed measuring component disposed about the shaft within the housing, the secondary, angular wheel position and speed measuring component being independent of the variable reluctance wheel speed detector and configured for distinguishing between a forward and reverse wheel speed.
