Crossbow [TM] Technology, Inc.... introduced its new AHRS500GA solid-state attitude and heading reference system for general aviation... Crossbow's AHRS500GA is a strap-down subsystem that delivers heading measurements with dynamic accuracy of +/-2. 0 and static accuracy of +/-1. 5. Attitude accuracy is less than +/-0. 5 degrees(static) and +/-2. 0 degrees(dynamic). Range is +/-180 degrees. The system features the industry's highest performing sensors, including advanced MEMs accelerometers and rate gyros that provide much higher reliability than traditional spinning mass gyros. 14, record 1, English, - attitude%20and%20heading%20reference%20system

Une centrale moderne d'attitude et de cap [...] ressemble beaucoup à une centrale inertielle de navigation qui ne fournirait que les assiettes et le cap, et dont les gyroscopes et les accéléromètres seraient de performances modestes : 1 à 10 degrés par heure pour les gyroscopes et quelques millièmes de la pesanteur pour les accéléromètres. La centrale d'attitude et de cap peut être à cardans ou à composants liés [...] et utiliser des gyroscopes mécaniques ou des gyrolasers. 2, record 1, French, - centrale%20d%27attitude%20et%20de%20cap
