ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a slider with an air bearing surface for flying a magnetic transducer on an air lubrication film over a moving recording medium. The air bearing surface allows the slider to fly at a close and substantially uniform height over the disk surface regardless of the skew angle of the air flow. The slider has a pair of nonidentical, nonsymmetrical rails disposed about the longitudinal axis of the slider, which through the viscous effects of the air flow, provide the air lubrication film when the recording medium is in motion.
