Roll-rate gyro. The roll-rate gyro is less sensitive than the P [pitch] and Y [yaw] rate gyros. Roll-rate control limits fast roll rates during boost, before roll stabilization takes place. This gyro damps the missile's rolling oscillations about the normal flight position. 2, record 1, English, - roll%20rate%20gyroscope

The gyropilot, commonly called an automatic pilot (q.v.), consists basically of three devices, each of which detects disturbances of the aircraft in one plane and corrects for these disturbances by moving the appropriate control ... The roll disturbance is detected by a roll rate gyroscope and by a roll angle pendulum, which senses displacement. 1, record 1, English, - roll%20rate%20gyroscope
