Centrale de cap et de verticale pour avion. Une centrale est constituée d’un gyro-indicateur de verticale et d’un gyroscope directionnel garde-cap. La direction par rapport au nord du moment cinétique du gyroscope directionnel est repérée juste avant le départ de l'avion à l'aide d’un gyroscope de transfert. Un gyroscope de verticale asservit une plate-forme autour de deux axes parallèles aux axes de roulis et de tangage de l'avion. Cette plate-forme délivre les références de roulis et assiette longitudinale et supporte un gyroscope directionnel qui fonctionne en garde-cap. La plate-forme asservie est constituée d’un cadre de roulis extérieur et de deux cadres de tangage liés mécaniquement. À l'intérieur du premier cadre de tangage est placé le gyroscope de verticale, à l'intérieur du second le gyroscope directionnel : c'est un gyroscope «à faible dérive» comportant des roulements activés sur l'axe de site; le recalage est assuré par un moteur couple à partir d’un détecteur d’écart. 1, record 3, French, - gyroscope%20%C3%A0%20faible%20d%C3%A9rive
