Abstract: Windage power loss in high-speed gearboxes results in efficiency losses and increased heating due to drag on the gear teeth. Test results for meshed spur gear windage power loss are presented at ambient oil inlet temperatures, both with and without shrouding. The rate of windage power loss is observed to increase above a gear surface speed of 10,000 feet per minute (51 meters per second), similar to results presented in the literature. Shrouding is observed to become more effective above 15,0…
