On the feathering hinges of the FAIREY Rotodyne On this, the world's first vertical take-off airliner, Timken tapered-roller bearings are used in important situations. The sectional drawing shows the arrangement of the Timken bearings, journal and thrust, in the rotor-blade feathering hinges. Timken bearings are also used on the rotor head (where they carry the entire weight during vertical take-off and a considerable share during forward flight), and in the pitch control mechanism. The blade roots of the Rotol propellers also have Timken bearings, so have the main and nose wheels. Regd.
