Abstract

The ability to rise like a helicopter, tilt its rotors forward and fly like an airplane puts unusual demands on tiltrotor bearings, links and springs. Add to this stringent requirements for high reliability and low maintenance and you've got one tought assignment. Innovative and sophisticated natural rubber products from Lord Corporation have met the challenge.
