Goal of this paper is to propose the validation of an accurate tool, which was presented by the authors in previous works, aimed to the computerized design of face hobbed gears. Firstly, the mathematical model able to compute detailed gear tooth surface representation on both spiral and hypoid gears will be briefly recalled; then, the so obtained 3D tooth geometry is employed as input for an advanced contact solver that, using a hybrid method combining finite element technique with semianalytical solutions, is able to efficiently carry out both contact analysis under light or heavy loads and stress tensile calculation. The validation analyses will be carried on published aerospace face hobbed spiral bevel gear data comparing measurements of root and fillet stresses. Good agreement with experimental results both in the time scale and in magnitude will be revealed. 1 INTRODUCTION Spiral bevel and hypoid gear drives are widely applied in the transmission of many applications, such as helicopters, cars, trucks, etc. They are manufactured using mainly two cutting processes: face milling or face hobbing method. As well known, face milling process, traditionally adopted by the Gleason Works?, utilizes a circular face mill type cutter and employs an intermittent index. On the contrary, during FH process, traditionally adopted by Oerlikon? and in the last decades by the
