Abstract
An aerodynamic slide bearing which uses air as a lubricant. A shaft is supported on substructures distributed about its circumference, which exhibit predetermined elasticity and dampening behavior. A dampening chamber is located between each substructure and an outer casing to give the aerodynamic slide bearing requisite dampening characteristics. Because of the modular design, the aerodynamic slide bearing is relatively insensitive to shifting of the shaft.
