Hello
I am a 4th year mechanical engineering student at the University of Liverpool, and I am involved in the Human Powered Helicopter Project. For this, we are designing, building and testing a few different control methods at 1/3 scale - one of these uses a conical clutch to engage/disengage the rotor in order to distribute power across the helicopter.
After doing some research I found that common frictional materials used as clutch material include aramid cloth - I just wondered if anyone had any information regarding the frictional properties of the following product, and whether it may be suitable to be used on the face of a clutch.
Thank you in advance
