"It is testament to FAG’s expertise and
experience within the aerospace industry
that we were chosen over other
manufacturers to supply all of the main
shaft bearings and components for this

prestigious aircraft’s engine."

In this document there is also a VERY interesting report on fake bearings. We all need to read this.
