Piston-powered aircraft are critically vulnerable to primary gyro instrument failure, a risk that has led to fatal accidents even for experienced pilots in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC).

Failures of the pitot-static system, though rare, are extremely dangerous and often receive insufficient training emphasis compared to gyro instrument failures. The tragic Boeing 757 crash ...

Chinese researchers say they have developed a “groundbreaking” fibre-optic gyroscope that is stable across a large temperature range and can be used for navigation. According to the team from the ...
