GYROSCOPES OR GYROS – POSSILE TO FLY AN GYROSCOPIC PRECISSION – CAN BE OBSERVED

AIRCRAFT WITHOUT OUTSIDE VISUAL WITH ANY ROTATING MASS.

REFERENCE.
GYRO – IS SIMPLY A ROTATING MASS
LEON FOCAULT – IN 1851, DEVISED A SMALL
WHEEL WITH HEAVY OUTSIDE RIM
TWO CHARACTERISTICS
HORIZONTAL DIRECTION – PRECESS AROUND
THE GIMBAL
GYROSCOPIC PRINCIPLES
ELMER A. SPERRY – INVENTED THE TURN AND
BACK INDICATOR IN 1918

- RIGIDITY - FOLLOWED BY THE GYROCOMPASS AND

- PRECESSION ARTIFICIAL HORIZON

ALL GYROS ARE ARTIFICIAL HORIZON – INDICATED AN

- VACUUM OR PRESSURE - PROVIDE THE
POWER FOR THE HEADING AND
ATTITUDE INDICATORS
- ELECTRICALLY OPERATED – PROVIDE
THE POWER FOR TURN COORDINATOR
4.5 AND 5.5 IN. HG – THE AMOUNT OF
VACUUM OR PRESSURE
AIRCRAFT’S ATTITUDE RELATIVE TO THE EARTH
HORIZON
TURN INDICATOR – IS AN EXAMPLE OF A RATE
GYRO
- MEASURE THE RATE OF ROTATION
AOUT AN AIRCRAFT’S VERTICAL AXIS.

VANE – TYPE ENGINE DRIVEN PUMP – ONE

SOURCE OF VACUUM FOR THE GYROS

- IS MOUNTED ON THE ACCESSORY CASE

OF THE ENGINE

TYPICAL VACUUM SYSTEM CONSIST OF AN

- ENGINE DRIVEN VACUUM PUMP

- RELIEF VALVE
- AIR FILTER , GAUGE
- TUBING

GAUGE – IS MOUNTED IN THE AIRPLANE’S

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND INDICATES THE
AMOUNT OF PRESSURE

GIMBAL RINGS ARE TILTED

GYROSCOPE TENDS TO REMAIN RIGID IN SPACE

PRECESSION – WHEN AN OUTSIDE FORCE TRIES

TO TILT A SPINNING GYRO, EFEECT BY 90
DEGREES.
