[...] les systèmes inertiels [...] font appel à une autre loi de la physique selon laquelle les objets tournant à très haute vitesse garderont leur position relative dans l'espace. En d'autres termes, si on se met à faire tourner un objet (une toupie, par exemple) à un rythme effréné, il ne tombera pas. Conséquemment, les systèmes inertiels se composent d'un minimum de deux gyroscopes, chacun desquels supporte une masse globulaire placée à l'intérieur d'un cardan. On tient cependant les appareils d'aujourd'hui en suspension électromagnétique afin d'en réduire la friction. On orientera l'un des gyroscopes à la verticale tandis que le second y sera annexé à angle droit. Un objet tournant à la quasi-verticale s'orientera à la verticale réelle grâce aux effets de gravité. [...] S'il y a inclinaison de la plate-forme, comme par exemple lors d'un virage sur l'aile, le cardan s'incline en tandem avec l'avion tandis que la masse tournante demeure à la verticale. On peut dès lors mesurer l'angle d'inclinaison. 13, record 8, French, - cardan
