Record 1 2002-04-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • General Mechanics (Physics)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Navigation Instruments
DEF

The drift rate resulting from an oscillatory angular input about an axis normal to the spin axis at twice the rotor spin frequency.

OBS

This effect is due to the single-degree-of-freedom of the gimbal relative to the support shaft and is proportional to the input amplitude and phase relative to the flexure axes.
