L'application rigoureuse de la formule déduite de la loi fondamentale de la dynamique conduirait rapidement à des équations complexes. On a cherché à simplifier l'étude des gyroscopes à l'aide d'une approximation légitime, appelée approximation gyroscopique [...] [qui] consiste à négliger, dans l'application de la loi fondamentale de la dynamique à l'ensemble rotor + carter, le moment cinétique du carter par rapport à celui du rotor. Cette approximation se justifie a posteriori dans la mesure où elle permet de cerner de suffisamment près les phénomènes. 2, record 1, French, - approximation%20gyroscopique

Le comportement des appareils gyroscopiques de pilotage peut généralement être compris en utilisant les notions de précession gyroscopique et de couple gyroscopique. Ces concepts peuvent être reliés à la mécanique rationnelle, d'une manière simple, en faisant intervenir la notion d'approximation gyroscopique. 3, record 1, French, - approximation%20gyroscopique
