coupled gyroscopic forces / gyroscopic effects

The German construction is telegraphic, and it is quite common in documents of this sort. Unlike common English usage, the parentheses enclosing the term xxx are shorthand for 'in connection with xxx' or 'this is related to xxx'.

I'd be inclined to render this in English as '... can lead to inexact results (due to gyroscopic effects)'.

gyroscopic couplings

I am not quite sure about this, hence the low confidence level.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Kcda : Excellent! However there is probably a new issue. Is it really quite? The engines. I doubt it. The gyroscope & bearing idea is possibly an easy way out. :)
