ABSTRACT:
A continuous run, single axis, single degree of freedom gas operated flui inertial gyro comprising a housing, a gimbal assembly supported in the housing on gas thrust and journal bearings, a turbine type spin rotor with axle mounting the rotor in the gimbal assembly, and shaft means forming part of the gimbal assembly and providing passageways to channel input flow to and vent flow from the gas turbine type spin rotor along and parallel to the gimbal axis to minimize drift error. The gyro is also provided with a pneumatic torquer to provide gimbal adjustment and fluidic pickoff to provide analog gas pressure readouts of pounds per square inch convertible to angular deflection in degrees.
