what works on the principle of precession.
turn indicator
Heading indicator
Air speed indicator
attitude indicator
Precession:
the tilting or turning of a gyroscope in response to a force.
the ability of the gyroscope to remain in a fixed position in the plane in which it is spinning.
Rigidity in space:
the tilting or turning of a gyroscope in response to a force.
the ability of the gyroscope to remain in a fixed position in the plane in which it is spinning.
what works on the principle of Rigidity in space?
