The turn and slip indicator is a combination of two instruments; the turn needle and the ball. The needle is gyro operated to show rate of turn. The ball reacts to centrifugal force to indicate the quality of a turn... In a slip, the rate of turn is too slow for the angle of bank. The lack of centrifugal force moves the ball to the inside of the turn. Decreasing the bank or increasing the rate of turn will correct a slip. 7, record 1, English, - slip

La force dépend du coefficient de portance, déterminé par la forme de l'aile et par l'angle d’attaque : sa valeur typique est de l'ordre de 0, 3. Il est ainsi plus facile de décoller face au vent : à la vitesse de l'avion s’ajoute la vitesse du vent, et la force résultant du vent relatif sur les ailes est plus forte. Pour le vol à altitude constante, il suffit que le déplacement soit suffisamment rapide par rapport à l'air pour que la portance compense le poids... Lorsque l'on augmente la vitesse de l'avion, la portance totale augmente. Sans action sur l'inclinaison ou la forme de l'aile, qui modifie le coefficient de portance, l'avion monterait. Afin de maintenir en vol horizontal, le pilote agit sur les ailes, de manière que la portance totale diminue. 3, record 2, French, - coefficient%20de%20portance

The Coriolis force experienced by an object moving with a velocity relative to a rotating reference frame can be used to sense this angular motion. This force is proportional to the relative velocity and to the angular rate and is perpendicular to both. This principle was demonstrated in the 19th century by Foucault with his pendulum and by Bryan with his ringing wine- glass experiment.

The attitude indicator (also called the artificial horizon or the gyro horizon) provides the pilot with an artificial horizon as a means of reference when the natural horizon cannot be seen ... The natural horizon is represented by a horizon bar on the face of the instrument. The attitude of the aircraft in relation to the horizon is indicated by a split bar or, on some instruments, by a miniature airplane... When the airplane noses up, the miniature airplane rises above the horizon bar, indicating a nose high condition. When the airplane noses down, the miniature airplane sinks below the horizon bar, indicating a nose down condition. When the airplane banks, the miniature airplane banks on the horizon bar and the pointer indicates the degree of bank on the index scale...

L’horizon artificiel [...] est essentiellement constitué par un gyroscope tournant à vitesse élevée dont la principale caractéristique est la fixité dans l’espace. Il reste fixe tandis que le boîtier solidaire du tableau de bord se déplace avec l’avion. [...] La maquette qui représente l’avion (ailes et cône d’hélice) est solidaire du tableau de bord. Elle se déplace devant un tambour sur lequel figure une représentation de l’horizon naturel, de la terre (en noir) et du ciel (en bleu). Ce tambour gradué en degré permet de déterminer l’assiette.

Le gyroscope de l'indicateur de virage est généralement fixé selon un angle de 30 degrés. Lorsque l'avion vire, la force centrifuge entraîne la précession du gyroscope. L'importance de la précession fait s’incliner vers la gauche ou vers la droite un avion miniature situé sur le cadran de l'instrument. Plus le virage est rapide, plus la précession est forte, d’où une inclinaison plus importante de l'avion miniature. 6, record 14, French, - maquette
