    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscopic_stabilizer

    A Gyroscopic stabilizer is a control system that reduces tilting movement of a ship or aircraft. It senses orientation using a small gyroscope, and counteracts rotation by adjusting control surfaces or by applying force to a large gyroscope.

    A Boeing 737 uses an adjustable stabilizer, moved by a jackscrew, to provide the required pitch trim forces. Generic stabilizer illustrated. A horizontal stabilizer is used to maintain the aircraft in longitudinal balance, or trim: [3] it exerts a vertical force at a distance so the summation of pitch moments about the center of gravity is zero.

    5 position trim system. A variable-position horizontal stabilizer changes the pitch simultaneously with the flaperon setting. Normally the horizontal stabilizer also known as tailplane is fixed and has a hinged elevator, a stabilator is another method that combines the functions of an elevator and a horizontal stabilizer.

  6. Gun stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_stabilizer

    There are many forms of gun stabilization. The simple single-plane stabilizer only stabilizes on a vertical axis, and the two-plane stabilizer stabilizes both the vertical and horizontal axis. The mechanism usually includes an angular reference device such as a mechanical or optical gyroscope and servomechanisms. In the case of a tank, one ...

  9. Stabiliser (archery) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabiliser_(Archery)

    In archery, a stabiliser is a general term for various types of weights, usually on rods, mounted on the bow to increase stability i.e. lessen movement on release, thereby increasing precision. Stabilisers help reduce inconsistency [ clarification needed ] in the archer's release by increasing the moment of inertia of the bow. [ 1 ]
