Low-Temperature Testing of an AH-1G Helicopter Equipped with Elastomeric Flapping and Feathering Bearings in the Main Rotor.

Abstract

Low-temperature testing of an AH-1G helicopter equipped with a main rotor incorporating elastomeric flapping and feathering bearings was conducted in the McKinley Climatic Laboratory at Egin AFB, Florida. The purpose of the test was to determine the low-temperature service suitability of the elastomeric bearings.
