Claim 0:
1. A slide bearing for rotationally supporting a rotor hub of a wind turbine generator, the slide bearing comprising:
an inner element forming part of a rotating rotor shaft rotatable about an axis,
an outer element forming part of a rotor stator,
two axially spaced bearing halves between the inner and outer elements having respective bearing faces as viewed in a section parallel through the axis that are not parallel to one another and each extend at an angle not equal to 0° and/or not equal to 90° to the axis, in each of the bearing halves one of the respective bearing faces of the respective inner element being formed as an annularly continuous surface and the other bearing face of the respective outer element being formed by an annular array of bearing pads angularly next to one another, and
a respective elastically deformable mounting bracket attaching each bearing pad in a radially or axially resilient manner to the outer element.
