This isn’t the case at many aerospace gear shops, where the process for identifying the size and position of the gear’s contact pattern — a primary design consideration — is time consuming and very expensive. For a gear to perform properly under the significant loads placed on most lightweight aerospace gearboxes, the contact pattern (where gear teeth engage and disengage during rotation) must be a very precise shape and size. The ideal contact p
