Been wondering recently, for example the a320 what kind of break system does it have? Disc? How does it work?

Thanks

Do you mean BRAKES?

Multidisc carbon brakes, not unlike what you would find on an F1 car.http://content.answcdn.com/main/content/img/McGrawHill/Aviation/f0572-02.gif

737 multidisc brakes
