A transmission shaft comprising: an input side for inputting torque; an output side for outputting torque; a rod extending in a longitudinal direction between the input side and the output side to transfer torque along the transmission shaft, the rod comprising a first end provided at the input side, a second end provided at the output side and a torsional compliant section extending therebetween providing the transmission shaft with a torsional stiffness. A casing extends around the torsional compliant section and is arranged to resist deflection of the rod without increasing the torsional stiffness of the transmission shaft.
