I was a bit unsure where to post this, but this one seemed fitting enough.
I was wondering about the state of gyros in airplanes, like which type is being used today.
Are they all optik/fiber-based or are there mechanical gyroscopes at work. (By mechanical i mean the standard spinning wheel, not sure if it's the right definition. If there aren't when were they last used). I also know of the MEMS gyros but they don't seem quite in the airplane industry yet.
So yeah, I'd appreciate some clarification some example for a gyro would be great. Thanks
