ABSTRACT:
An air bearing for use with flight simulators or spin stabilized projecti having a primary axis of rotation. The device includes a fixedly mounted frame. In the frame is a hemispherical first stator defining an interior spherical space having a center on the primary axis of rotation of the projectile. A hemispherical first rotor is positioned about the center in said spherical space and is uniformly separated from the first stator by a first air gap. A cylindrical second stator is mounted on the first rotor and defines an interior cylindrical space having an axis co-existent with the primary axis. A cylindrical second rotor is positioned about the primary axis in said cylindrical space and is separated from the second stator by a second air gap. An air supply means is positioned to supply air to the first air gap in an amount sufficient to support said first rotor in said first stator and to supply air to said second air gap in an amount sufficient to support said second rotor in said second stator. Sleeve means are mounted on said second rotor for mounting a projectile to the second rotor and positioning the rotational axis of the projectile on the primary axis. Finally, drive means for rotating the projectile about the primary axis are provided.
