Don't believe what Dave says about a gyroscope requiring high mass and high rpm. Gyroscopic effects happen on all rotating systems."<
I agree with the above.
A clarification of the comment to which you refer is;
- The relative mass and rpm of a gyroscopic is high visa-vie the relative mass and rpm of a helicopter rotor.
- The relative aerodynamic activity of a gyroscopic is low visa-vie the relative aerodynamic activity of a helicopter rotor.
Do we agree on this?
