An externally pressurized compliant air bearing with potential for operation on surfaces of moderate unevenness or roughness such as might be encountered in vehicle guideways is considered. Analytical results are presented which show the effect on load carrying capacity, flow requirement, and center of pressure location of variation of bearing compliance, surface roughness, bearing speed, and bearing slope.
