Abstract: A curable composite bush for an aircraft joint comprising a generally hollow cylindrical body formed from a matrix material impregnated with a reinforcement material substantially composed of fibers, the fibers being oriented in a generally circumferential direction about a longitudinal axis of the bush. The body may define a plurality of corrugations extending between an inner and an outer diameter of the bush to improve the compressibility of the bush in a direction substantially collinear to a longitudinal axis of the bush.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rolled plain bearing bush, having a butt joint, an axial direction, a radial direction, and a peripheral direction, comprising a first semicylindrical segment and a second semicylindrical segment, which are arranged diametrically opposite each other, and a third segment and a fourth segment, which each deviate from the semicylindrical shape of the first and second segments and are arranged between the first and second segments in the peripheral direction and diametrically opposite each other, wherein the first and second segments each have a semicylindrical inner peripheral surface and outer peripheral surface, and wherein the third and fourth segments each have a flat inner peripheral surface, which flat inner peripheral surfaces extend parallel to each other, wherein a smallest radial distance between the inner peripheral surfaces of the third and fourth segments is less than a bush inside diameter, which corresponds to a radial distance between the inner peripheral surfaces of th
