Abstract
An aerodynamic bearing has an inner surface defining a channel for receiving a shaft. The inner surface is deformable between a first position in which the inner surface is located at a first radial distance, and a second position in which the inner surface is located at a second radial distance. The second radial distance is greater than the first radial distance. The inner surface is formed of at least one of an elastomeric material and a plastic material.
