ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for stabilization and control of an aircraft includes a pair of strapdown devices that are rigidly fixed in space relative to one another. Each device includes two two-axis gyroscopes, permitting the generation of triple redundancy. The measurement axes (M.sub.11, M.sub.12 and M.sub.21, M.sub.22) have different arrangements in the horizontal plane. The redundant axis of each strapdown device is arranged in such a way (preferably at 45 degrees) that an allocation to the two horizontal measurement axes is provided by computational transformation.
