The turn indicator is a classic blind flying instrument that is still used in many modern aircraft today. How gyroscopic devices work: Gyros are among the most important flight monitoring devices for blind flying.A gyroscope is a rotating body whose mass is evenly distributed around the axis of rotation so that the center of gravity coincides with the pivot point.A spinning top maintains its axis of rotation as long as no external force acts on it. A parallel axis shift has no influence on the position of the top. However, if you try to twist the axis of rotation, the axis deviates at a right angle to the disturbing force. This causes the top to tilt, which is known as precession. This peculiarity of the top occurs according to a law.In short: Any disturbing deflection of the axis of rotation causes the gyro axis to deviate perpendicular to the disturbing force, and the direction of rotation of the gyro's own rotation tries to align with the direction of rotation of the disturbance.
