gyroscopic instruments - Why does the attitude indicator gyro not ...
Sep 20, 2020 · The directional gyro needs to be realigned every so often, but the attitude indicator does not, and I have a hard time finding why.
aircraft design - Do gyroscopic forces (from rotating engines ...
Sep 18, 2016 · Gyroscopic forces are a factor on propellor driven aircraft, but generally not noticeable on a stable ('God Fearing') aircraft in cruise flight. However gyroscopic effects do become noticeable in …
turbofan - Do all single-engined aircraft experience torque that cause ...
May 11, 2020 · There are four reasons why a propeller aircraft will exhibit a left-turning tendency: torque, spiraling slipstream, P-factor, and gyroscopic precession. Torque is due to Newton's third law of motion.
military - How did the gyro gunsights of WW2 get the range and lead …
Sep 15, 2017 · I just read this article on the gyro gunsight, but I don't understand how it computed range/position to the target and then calculated how much lead is needed. Surely it must have had …
flight instruments - Why is the turn coordinator gyro tilted ...
Sep 4, 2021 · The turn coordinator is a rate gyro. Unlike attitude and heading gyros that are free to rotate and the instrument senses the orientation of their axis, the turn coordinator (and the turn …
