CHAMBER COMPONENTS
STATOR
STATOR PAD
The brass stator (see Figure 1-3) contains the driving air jets
that control the rotor speed and the air jets that levitate the rotor
during deceleration. Levitation air operates automatically during
deceleration.
The black stator pad (see Figure 1-5) rests on the channel of the stator
and cushions the rotor during a run and when the rotor is at rest.
