Abstract
A gear train includes a first gear having teeth meshed with teeth of a second gear. Each tooth of the first gear includes a coast side and a drive side opposed to the coast side. The drive side has a pressure angle that is greater than that of the coast side. The gear train can be part of a powertrain system for a rotorcraft, and can replace a traditional gear train in a retrofit or new build. The first gear is a planet gear and the second gear is a ring gear wherein the planet gear and ring gear are in a planetary gear train configuration.
