Le gyromètre intégrateur [...] est un gyroscope 1 axe ne devant comporter aucun rappel élastique [...] mais doué d'un fort amortissement visqueux [...]. Son équipage mobile comporte toujours un carter étanche flottant dans un liquide à haute viscosité, d'où son appellation courante gyro flottant; la qualité du liquide de flottaison est choisie aussi voisine que possible de la densité moyenne de l'équipage mobile, afin de soulager au mieux les ensembles pivot-pierre matérialisant l'axe de sortie, par un équilibre entre la poussée d'Archimède et le poids apparent de l'équipage mobile. 2, record 1, French, - gyrom%C3%A8tre%20int%C3%A9grateur

On peut imaginer et c'est la tendance actuelle, une détection des écarts angulaires par des gyromètres intégrateurs directement disposés sur la structure de [la plate-forme], en strapdown et mesurant les infimes écarts d'orientation de [la plate-forme]. [...] La centrale décrite est celle qui équipe le Mirage 2000, son nom UNI 52. 3, record 1, French, - gyrom%C3%A8tre%20int%C3%A9grateur
