We all fly with instruments. The altimeter measures height above a reference.... The aneroid altimeter uses a small sealed capsule containing air. As the instrument goes up, the air pressure in the capsule increases and by the design of the capsule, it is allowed to expand in a certain direction. This expansion is coupled by mechanical linkages to a dial display. The dial can be adjusted by a knob to read say height above sea level(QNH) or height above the field(QFE). This altimeter is mechanical. 6, record 2, English, - barometric%20altimeter

Servo altimeters have a place among the most important instrument gauges in aviation history. The servo altimeter tells the pilot how high the plane is flying above the earth and at what rate it is climbing or descending, along with valuable information about the air pressure. The instrument differs from a normal altimeter in how it senses the altitude. A traditional altimeter uses only a barometer-style system to calculate pressure. Its instrument panel is sealed with an airtight connection to the airplane's static port, a device on the side of the plane open to a steady and reliable stream of air. 2, record 3, English, - servo%2Daltimeter

In a skidding turn, the gyro precesses towards the inside of the turn. After return on the aircraft to straight and level flight, the instrument shows a turn in the direction of the skid. In a normal turn, the gyro precesses towards the inside of the turn. The precession error is quickly corrected by the erecting mechanism. 2, record 6, English, - erecting%20mechanism
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The only really tricky part of the attitude indicator is its erecting mechanism. When power(vacuum) is first applied to the instrument, the mechanism quickly erects the gyro spindle to plumb-vertical in order to align the artificial horizon with the natural horizon. In flight, the erecting mechanism continually compensates the gyro for precession errors in order to keep it aligned throughout the course of a long flight. The design of the erecting mechanism is quite clever. In an air-driven attitude gyro, there are "pendulous vanes" suspended from pivots attached to the lower portion of the sealed gyro housing, one vane for each exhaust port. The vanes are positioned so that, when the gyro is erect, each vane half-covers its associated exhaust port. If the gyro tilts so that its axle is not plumb, the pendulous vanes shift so that one exhaust port is more-than-half-covered and the opposite exhaust port is less-than-half-covered. The resulting imbalance of discharge air exerts a force on the rotor housing at right angles to the direction of tilt, causing the gyro to precess to the erect position. As soon as the gyro is erect, the pendulous vanes return to a balanced condition to remove the precessing force. Pure magic! The erecting mechanism can erect the gyro quite quickly at initial power-up because the gyro doesn’t exhibit much gyroscopic rigidity at low rotor RPMs. Typically, the horizon bar becomes level within the first 10 or 15 seconds, and then its oscillations(caused by precessional nutation of the gyro) are damped out within a minute or so as the rotor comes up-to-speed. 3, record 6, English, - erecting%20mechanism

The rotor of the air-driven gyro is mounted in a sealed housing. Filtered air is brought into the gyro housing through passages in the rear pivot, the gimbal ring, and the side pivots. The air then blows against the rotor through two angled nozzles on opposite sides of the housing. The circumference of the rotor is machined with dozens of little bucket-like cutouts which allow the airflow to spin the rotor like a waterwheel(but a whole lot faster). Having done its work, the air then exits through exhaust ports on the lower part of the sealed gyro housing, whereupon it is sucked out of the instrument case by the vacuum pump. 3, record 8, English, - gyro%20housing

Attitude indicator components(vacuum-driven). The rotor, mounted in a sealed housing, spins in a horizontal plane about the vertical axis. The housing pivots about the lateral axis on a gimbal, which in turn is free to pivot about the longitudinal axis. The instrument case is the third gimbal necessary for universal mounting. The horizon bar is linked to the gyro by a lever, attached to a pivot on the rear of the gimbal frame and connected to the gyro housing by a guide pin. 5, record 10, English, - case

Un gyroscope est essentiellement constitué d'un solide de révolution animé d'un mouvement de rotation rapide autour de son axe de symétrie. Le solide de révolution est appelé rotor ou toupie gyroscopique. Dans un grand nombre de cas d'utilisation concrète, le rotor doit pouvoir prendre n'importe quelle position dans l'espace. À cet effet on rend le rotor solidaire du boîtier qui le contient au moyen d'un système de deux cadres mobiles l'un par rapport à l'autre. 4, record 10, French, - bo%C3%AEtier%20du%20gyroscope

Les appareils gyroscopiques [...] nécessitent généralement un moteur pour entretenir un état permanent de l'élément sensible (amplitude de la vibration, vitesse de rotation de la toupie) et compenser les pertes internes, par frottement, du dispositif. La qualité de l'appareil ainsi constitué, composé d'un boîtier, d'un élément sensible, d'un moteur et d'un détecteur angulaire, est caractérisée par sa performance de stabilité angulaire. 1, record 10, French, - bo%C3%AEtier%20du%20gyroscope

Un gyromètre est un capteur électromécanique, dont le carter (élément sensible) S2 possède un degré de liberté en rotation (autour de l'axe X de sortie), par rapport à un boîtier dont on veut mesurer l'angle de rotation autour d'un axe dit d'entrée Y. 5, record 10, French, - bo%C3%AEtier%20du%20gyroscope

The first type of gyroscopic instrument to successfully reduce gimbal bearing friction to an acceptable level for precision applications was the floated gyroscope. In this instrument the rotating member is sealed within a hollow cylinder which forms the inner gimbal of the gyro. This is mounted in the gyro case with a fluid surrounding the cylinder; the density of the fluid is chosen so as to exactly float the cylinder, thus removing the weight of the inner gimbal from the bearings and greatly relieving the bearing frictional load. 1, record 11, English, - gimbal%20bearing%20friction

La première chose à installer, c'est un kit de roulements à billes. Ils remplaceront les bagues en plastique ou en métal rose. Un roulement est composé de deux bagues une intérieure et une extérieure. Elles sont mises en contact par l'intermédiaire de bille en acier trempé, le tout est scellé. Le frottement d'un roulement est quasiment nul et il n'y a pas d'usure. L'installation de roulements est obligatoire avant le remplacement du moteur par un plus puissant. 3, record 11, French, - frottement%20des%20roulements%20du%20cardan
