BEARINGS on the flight controls of the Westland Lynx which gained the World Helicopter Air Speed Record for Great Britain are retained with a Loctite retaining adhesive. This application, now common on all new Westland helicopters, removed the risk of the controls binding, simplified assembly, and reduced fitting time from 10 —15 minutes to around 2 minutes for each of approximately 200 bearings per aircraft.
