Modification Record 1 & 2
The Jaguar FBW aircraft had three single axis quadruplex gyro packages (this Roll package plus a similar looking Pitch unit Part No.11-025-01, and a Yaw unit Part No. 11-028-01). The units were identical apart from the scaling of their output signals; a wider range being needed for Roll rate. Each unit contains four gyroscopes and associated electronics with mechanical and electrical isolation between each lane. They interfaced on a lane-by-lane basis with the Flight Control Computer and each FCC provided DC power to its own gyros and received the rate signal as simple analogue values. These quadruplex rate gyro units were manufactured in Gyro Division Rochester. This Rate Gyro is a standard Jaguar fit but this unit was actually fitted to the fly-by-wire Jaguar. The Roll Gyro was donated by Ian Pope
