Plastic bearings for aerospace applications encompass plain and rolling-element designs manufactured from engineering polymers such as PEEK, PTFE, acetal, and glass- or carbon-fibre-reinforced nylon, offering inherent corrosion resistance and low-friction operation without supplementary lubrication; fabrication methods include injection moulding, CNC machining, and filament winding to achieve the dimensional tolerances required for airframe, actuation, and control-system interfaces.
