Nice movie, I have a question. You have now only talked about left and right. What about the bulge of the earth? An aircraft could eventually fly upside down (seen from its starting point) how does the gyroscope react to this?
The earth is level, the whole point of an aeroplane's gyroscope is to keep the artificial horizon that follows earth's horizon, that would not work on a curved surface. If visibility was totally obscured it would be no good at keeping the plane level on a curved earth.
My question/issue is: The gyroscope will maintain its position in space, not relative to the Earth's surface. So in a plane if you're flying straight an imaginary fake force is going to make it appear as if your aircraft is constantly nosing slowly up. If the pilot is slowly pushing forward to keep the aircraft level relative to Earth is the gyro not going to appear as if the horizon is constantly rising? Is there some way to counteract this or does the pilot have to periodically adjust the artificial horizon?
Aircraft gyros have correcting components which basically adjust them to gravitational pull. Those work quite slowly but since the earth is rather large it works just fine overall.
Uh, no. In fact the attitude indicator in an airplane is a fantastic proof of the curved Earth, specifically because engineers have to compensate for it when they design them to ensure they remain accurate as the plane flies, otherwise they'd drift as the plane passes over the curved surface. Older aircraft accomplished this by simply putting a weight at the bottom of the cage to ensure the bottom of the gyro aligned itself to the direction of gravity. More modern aircraft use pendulous vanes to accomplish the same thing, they're more accurate. Neither method would be necessary on a flat earth, though. The older method *definitely* wouldn't have worked if there's no such thing as gravity, as flat earthers so often like to claim.
Not to give you an attitude, but it actually is attitude. A gyro does not adjust for up, down, right, left, backwards and forwards. Only It's orientation or attitude if you will
1:50 It's not actually depends on just the mass. It's the mass on the outer ring of the flywheel. Wider the diameter, better the inertia.
Absolutely perfect; thanks for sharing.
Many thanks!
Clear as CAT. Lovely. Top gyro video for aviation purposes!
💯 Thanks for the Lecture !!!
Any time
helpful and perfect as always, thank you
I love your voice !
Nice

a weight attached to the outer gimbal assures that the gyroscope always levels out horizontally.

In which direction does the rotor turn in the coordinator?
Shown by small, white arrow at 2:27. Hope this helps.
@@flightclubonline I am a bit confused. Then, wouldn't it tilt to the right in a right turn?
does it keep the direction of spin regardless gravity

That's because pilots fly over a plane not a spinning ball so gyro all good
@@globePeerReview
That's a good one, flatard 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Matticitt would love to see a demonstration of those correcting components. Otherwise, I think the flat earthers have a very solid point.
Can you done some GNAV ?
Great video! It proves the Earth is flat. It can't work on a globe.

More flat earth proof thank you
😂
Earth is flat
No, it's a donut, obviously.
😂
no its a globe duma*ses
Its actually a cube the governmen
@@pilotjdb what!? We all know earth is shaped like a banana!
Ahl ti tude. Not attitude.
It is attitude brother
Or in other terms behaviour of the aircraft.
