The gyroscopic autopilot was a type of autopilot system developed primarily for aviation uses in the early 20th century. Since then, the principles of...

Anti-rolling gyro, or ship stabilizing gyroscope, applies force to a large gyroscope. Gyroscopic autopilot adjusts control surfaces of the aircraft...

There are two gyroscopes (usually) on the platform. Two gyroscopes are used to cancel gyroscopic precession, the tendency of a gyroscope to twist at right...

gyroscopes provided a stabilized platform for the bombardier to sight through, although the complex interaction between the bombsight and autopilot was...
