Abstract

A self-loading magnetic head air bearing slider is formed with a taper across the full width at its leading edge. The air bearing slider has two rails along its sides and a recess between the rails. The structure of the rails is preferably flared to provide an improved pressure profile thereby to allow fast liftoff from a disk surface.
