Q

Why are Flexible Disk Packs installed?

A

To permit minor radial loads.

17
Q

Why are the flex disks arranged with a 60 degree offset to the preceding disk?

A

In order to prevent any deficiencies in strength

18
Q

What is the Long DS made from?

A

Steel

19
Q

What is the connecting adapter at the end of the Long DS made from?

A

Titanium

20
Q

What type are the bearings that support the Long DS?

A

Ceramic Roller bearings

21
Q

What is the purpose of the close fit rubber sleeve between the Long DS and TRDS bearings inner race?

A

They dampen vibrations, compensate a potential misalignment, and in
case of a bearing seizing, they allow the TRDS to carry on turning.

A

a collector tray.

25
Q

The setting shim is part of which component?

A

The control module.

26
Q

What type of lubrication system is the TRGB?

A

a wet sump lubrication system

27
Q

What material is the bigger left hand TR transmission fairing made from?

A

Carbon Fibre
