The Bossler coupling is a new flexible driveshaft coupling requiring experimental research to provide guidance for future design. Reported herein are bench tests of rotating driveshaft assemblies using Bossler couplings under combined speed, torque and misalignment, followed by an experimental flight test program in an HH-2D helicopter. The test driveshaft was designed to meet or exceed the capabilities of the existing main driveshaft on the Navy/Kaman HH-2D helicopter. Ten different couplings on two different driveshaft assemblies were bench tested under combined speed, torque and misalignment. (Author)
