Which of the following spinning wheel gyro has an accuracy of 0.001 deg/hr?(a) Floated TDF gyro(b) Electrostatically suspended TDF gyro(c) Floated SDF gyro(d) Unfloated ball bearing gyroThe question was asked in a job interview.My doubt is from Gyroscopes in chapter Satellite Radio Navigation& Inertial Navigation of Avionics

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (b) Electrostatically suspended TDF gyro

The EXPLANATION: In electrostatically suspended TDF gyro, the spinning wheel is suspended electrostatically hence reducing friction and ACHIEVING 0.001 deg/hr ACCURACY but at COSTS orders of magnitude higher than the floated TDF gyros.
