[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 74716116, member: 313046"] A theoretical, idealized gyroscope maintains its orientation relative to some axis against which it was originally calibrated, not to any sort of gravitational field. An airplane flying from, say, the north pole to the south pole will invert relative to non-terrestrial 3D reference coordinates and, as such, an onboard gyro should show that inversion. It wouldn’t flip over suddenly, but rather slowly change over the course of the flight. If a spacecraft followed that same course, that’s exactly what we’d see. However, as I pointed out in my previous post, real-world airborne gyros recalibrate themselves against gravity, negating this precession entirely. [/QUOTE]
