The failed upper accessory drive of the an-24 aeroengine damaged in air was analyzed,and the trouble-maker was determined as the 2A7000105b ball bearing,made in the former USSR,which was mounted in upper air-oil separator mounting base.When the bearing was out of order,the upper accessory drive will stop working,and finally,the engine should be out in air after hand-feathering.After we adopt a series of measures such as replacing the bearings by new ones,and reinforcing corresponding quality control etc.,similar troubles hasn′t occurred in this place.
