ABSTRACT:
The apparatus and method are designed to allow a projectile to be supported n an external air bearing and spun up to a desired spin rate. When the desired spin drive is disengaged the projectile reacts freely to the gyroscopic forces in three degrees of angular motion. Spin loss, coning angle and nutation motion are measured as they vary with time.
