STUDY OF HELICOPTER GEAR LUBRICATION

Abstract

This study of helicopter gear lubrication consists in a study of the types of failure that have occurred in helicopter transmissions in the field, and an attempt to learn the causes of such failures on a theoretical and experimental basis. The overall objectives of the work, however, are not limited to solutions of gear lubrication problems of existing helicopter transmissions, but also aim at developing information useful to future transmission designs and, in part, applicable to other gear systems.
