I know that a lot of Sea Furies have F-102 wheels and brakes replacing the British setup, but haven't heard anything on Mustangs.
Thanks!

All seems to be "genometry". What is the actual comparison in total swept area of the '51 vs '63 brakes? If the plates are the same dimensions for surface area, then you are correct that more plates mean more braking surface unless you get greater pressure from the P-63 brakes with less area.
Other possiblities, different pad material that is more efficient?
Answer is?
