Gyroscopic Instruments for Aircraft

[[image]]
More than one hundred Sperry Pilots have been ordered for installation this year on commercial, military and naval planes.

The Sperry Pilot relieves the human pilot of the fatigue of flying. It also provides him with a constant visual indication of the ship's flight attitude. The resulting stability is the most convincing evidence of its superiority over hand control.

The combination of the Sperry Horizon and the Directional Gyro gives the pilot, at a glance, a direct and immediate indication of the amount of angular variation of the plane in any direction. With these instruments all the maneuvers necessary to airplane flight may be safely performed even when the natural horizon is obscured.

In four years 6,154 Horizons and Directional Gyros have been delivered for installation on planes of all types.
