OBS

(of a system such as brakes or steering) provided with power assistance (gv). The terms "power-steering" and "power-assisted steering" are entirely interchangeable, whereas "power-braking" is sometimes taken to mean "a braking system in which the energy needed to produce the braking force emanates from one or several energy sources, excluding the physical effort of the driver", while "power-assisted braking" means "a braking system in which the energy needed to produce the braking force emanates from the physical effort of the driver and one or more other sources".

Record 3 2001-06-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
  • Navigation Instruments
CONT

A free gyro that is not slaved to any Earth reference (as the vertical and directional gyros and the gyrocompass are) will tend to maintain a fixed direction in inertial space, that is, with respect to fixed stars. Then as the Earth rotates, the angle between the axis of such a gyro and an arbitrary line on the Earth will change, and to an Earth-fixed observer the gyro will appear to precess.

CONT

The Rover navigation system uses a directional gyro to keep track of the Rover heading ... and rotation counts on the four wheels to determine distance driven, range back to the LM [lunar module], and bearing to the LM. (Jones - "I had thought, originally, that the Nav system used inertial...") (Irwin - "When you say inertial, you normally think of inertial as three-axis inertial. Here, you've only got a slave gyro and one axis for heading.") (Jones - "A single-axis gyro.")

OBS

slave: term officialized by the Aeronautical Terminology Standardization Committee (ATSC) - Helicopters.

CONT

L'Horizon artificiel. Il mesure simultanément une assiette et une inclinaison. L'utilisation d'un gyroscope asservi à la verticale lui permet de mesurer les angles compris entre l'axe du gyroscope et les axes liés à l'avion. On obtient ainsi les sens en degrés d'inclinaison ainsi que la valeur de l'angle d'attitude à cabrer ou à piquer.

CONT

Gyroscope asservi.

OBS

asservi : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Hélicoptères.
