  2. Hemispherical resonator gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispherical_resonator...

    The hemispherical resonator gyroscope (HRG), also called wine-glass gyroscope or mushroom gyro, is a compact, low-noise, high-performance angular rate or rotation sensor. An HRG is made using a thin solid-state hemispherical shell, anchored by a thick stem.

  3. Vibrating structure gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrating_structure_gyroscope

    Consider two proof masses vibrating in plane (as in the MEMS gyro) at frequency . The Coriolis effect induces an acceleration on the proof masses equal to a c = 2 ( Ω × v ) {\displaystyle a_{\mathrm {c} }=2(\Omega \times v)} , where v {\displaystyle v} is a velocity and Ω {\displaystyle \Omega } is an angular rate of rotation.

  4. Gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope

    Diagram of a gyro wheel. Reaction arrows about the output axis (blue) correspond to forces applied about the input axis (green), and vice versa. A gyroscope is an instrument, consisting of a wheel mounted into two or three gimbals providing pivoted supports, for allowing the wheel to rotate about a single axis. A set of three gimbals, one ...

  5. Inertial navigation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system

    A ring laser gyro (RLG) splits a beam of laser light into two beams in opposite directions through narrow tunnels in a closed circular optical path around the perimeter of a triangular block of temperature-stable Cervit glass with reflecting mirrors placed in each corner. When the gyro is rotating at some angular rate, the distance traveled by ...

  6. Corrosion loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_loop

    Both terms “RBI Corrosion loops” or “RBI corrosion circuits” are generic terms used to indicate the systematization of piping systems into usable and understandable parts associated with corrosion. Systematized piping loops or circuits are systems used in Risk Based Inspection analysis to assess the likelihood and consequence of failure.

  7. Turn and slip indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_and_slip_indicator

    The turn indicator is a gyroscopic instrument that works on the principle of precession.The gyro is mounted in a gimbal.The gyro's rotational axis is in-line with the lateral (pitch) axis of the aircraft, while the gimbal has limited freedom around the longitudinal (roll) axis of the aircraft.

  8. LN-3 inertial navigation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LN-3_Inertial_Navigation...

    Flight line maintenance of the LN-3, like systemchecks and fault isolation, was performed using specific test equipment : System Test Console with Adapter and Computer, and Platform on pedestal at Volkel, NL. MATS (mobile automated test system) (RNlAF operated the MATS not at flightline but shop level.) Line test analyzer; Gyro bias test set

  9. Attitude indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_indicator

    The attitude indicator (AI), also known as the gyro horizon or artificial horizon, is a flight instrument that informs the pilot of the aircraft orientation relative to Earth's horizon, and gives an immediate indication of the smallest orientation change. The miniature aircraft and horizon bar mimic the relationship of the aircraft relative to ...
