A propulsion assembly includes a rotor assembly, a mast coupled to the rotor assembly and a bull gear coupled to the mast. The bull gear is subject to radial and axial loads. The propulsion assembly includes a flexured standpipe extending through the bull gear and a ball bearing including inner and outer races interposed between the bull gear and the flexured standpipe. The ball bearing is configured to absorb axial loads from the bull gear. The bull gear is rotatably coupled to the flexured standpipe via the ball bearing. The flexured standpipe flexes in response to radial loads from the bull gear.
