Some more expensive heading indicators are "slaved" to a magnetic sensor, called a flux gate. The flux gate continuously senses the Earth's magnetic field, and a servo mechanism constantly corrects the heading indicator. [4] These "slaved gyros" reduce pilot workload by eliminating the need for manual realignment every ten to fifteen minutes.
In navigation, the heading of a vessel or aircraft is the compass direction in which the craft's bow or nose is pointed. Note that the heading may not necessarily be the direction that the vehicle actually travels, which is known as its course .
The Heading Indicator can be combined with information from navigation radios (primarily VOR/ILS) in a similar way, to create the Horizontal Situation Indicator. The HSI, along with the VOR system, has largely replaced use of the RMI, however the HSI's much higher cost keeps the older combination of an RMI and an Omni Bearing Indicator ...
A gyrocompass makes use of one of the seven fundamental ways to determine the heading of a vehicle. [1] A gyroscope is an essential component of a gyrocompass, but they are different devices; a gyrocompass is built to use the effect of gyroscopic precession , which is a distinctive aspect of the general gyroscopic effect .
While many investors and market pundits seemed to expect this heading into the Fed's meeting, the news surprised the broader market. ... normally a bearish indicator for Bitcoin and crypto overall ...
The standard practice when flying with a gyro-stabilized compass (or heading indicator) is to read the magnetic compass only while in straight and level unaccelerated flight. This reading is then used to set the gyro-stabilized compass. The gyro compass will read correctly in a turn, whereas the magnetic compass can't be read properly while ...
Heading into the year, the most bullish S&P 500 price target on Wall Street came from Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research, who called for a 17% surge with his 5,400 price target.
The Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate Wednesday to between 4.25% and 4.5%. The central bank also projected two cuts next year instead of four, sending stocks tumbling.
