NEW INSTRUMENT

AIDS AVIATION

PLANES LAND AND TAKE-OFf without VISUAL AIDS

A recent issue of Flight contained an interesting illustrated article, showing how, by the use of a new instrument named the Gyorizon, it is possible for an airman" to perform aerobatics flying "blind" under the hood of a plane.

Detalls are given of a thrilling fight, in this manuer, by Flight Lieutenant II. A. Howes, formerly with the Far East Aviation Co., In Hongkong, and who is now engaged at the Desford Civil Aero- drome in Leicester training recruits for the Royal Air Force. Following are extracts from the article In Flight. written "ILA.T":

Since the original "invention", of instrument dying and the standardi- sation of suitable instruments in all transport aeroplanes, the discussions on the relative merits of free and rustrained gyror have been many and tedioun. Of these systems the free type may be epitomised on an artificial horizon and the restrained, Lypes as a rate-of-turn indicator. The best an- swer to all arguments is given in the fact that, while pilots of big machines generally prefer to fly an free gyro instruments, laternational conventiona have insisted that a restrained gyro instrument must be fitted.

It might be said that the Gyorizon has been produced in order to combine, to some extent, the advantages of both, but this is by no means the whole story. It is simple to follow, Functions in all possible attitudes and is also comparatively inexpensive in production.

Briefly, the Gyorizon is a combina- tion of a normal rate-of-turn infica- tion with a vigible horizon consisting of a coloured liquid which has been tested to remain liquid down to -60 C. By the simple expedient of allowing a pair or wings to sprit at the pl vot point of the turn indlentor needle the lateral relation of the machine can he represented against an imaginary horizon. Since this horizon is itself .nffected both by gravity and by cen

trifugal force, the pilot is given an Pasily understand disgrammatical picture of the angular motion as well as of the attitude of his machine.
