A gear system includes gears that each have a tooth flank profile that includes a convex addendum and a concave dedendum, and when in mesh satisfy the Euler Savory equation for conjugacy with contact over the entire tooth flank such that lines of contact are unbroken. The portion between the addendum and dedendum is an involute or other geometric curve.
