This program consisted of a comprehensive industry and literature survey followed by a detail design study of airframe bearing retention methods. The design study aided by heat transfer theory and tests, resulted in evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of many retention designs. A tapered mount or dished face retention design appears most feasible for -90 to 2000 F airframe bearings. This design is proposed for all temperature ranges due to its ability to compensate for differential thermal expansion. It is recommended that future effort be expanded to establish firm design data for this system.
