In a three-axis four-gimbal inertial platform, there is a small misalignment angle, [delta], between the pitch and inner roll gimbals. The problem ... is to drive this angle equal to zero. This involves designing a control loop for nulling [delta]. By properly designing the control system, an orthogonality loop can maintain the angle [delta] near zero for reasonable values of pitch angle. 1, record 1, English, - three%2Daxis%20four%2Dgimbal%20inertial%20platform
