Bearings in a Model Airplane

This project is about a six-member student group which is developing a model airplane in the scope of a study module. iglide® bearings were used for mounting the aileron. YES, the igus® Young Engineers Support, supplied this to them for free. The products used were 20 iglide® G300 sleeve bearings. Their application is in the mounting of the aileron. These are not designed as flaps at the trailing edge of the wing as is usual in commercial aircraft's. Instead, large areas of the wing can be tilted completely. This significantly increases the maneuverability, but also produces strong forces at the aileron axis. For this reason, the student group opted for the iglide® G300 bearing.
