some scientific uses;

1. BIFILAR PENDULUM TECHNIQUE FOR DETERMINING MASS PROPERTIES OF DISCOS PACKAGES in satellite manouverings.

2. The bifilar pendulum can be used to experimentally measure the mass moment of inertia of a test object.
A typical application is to measure mass moment of inertia of aircraft, especially small unmanned air vehicles (UAV).
