Angular velocity is not linear velocity and vice versa.
above discussions was about gyroscopes, that are together with
accelerators part of Inertial navigation systems.

Rotation is motion, but anguler, not linear one.

Exactly.

But what you have missed is,
this applies to accelerometers,
not gyroscopes we were talking about.

Vibration structure gyroscopes alias Coriolis gyroscopes,
either macro size or MEMS size,
detects angular speed, not angular acceleration
via Coriolis force
acting on vibrating structures, when they rotate.

Good inertial navigation systems
have both accelerometers and gyroscopes.

3 accelerometres for 3D linear acceleration
3 gyroscopes for 3D angular speed
and optionally also
3 Hall sensors for magnetic field orientation.

What you have missed is that a gyroscope is a gyroscope.

What one can sense with a gyroscope depends on what sensors have been
put on the gyroscope.

What information can be derived from a sensor depends on how the sensor
data is processed.

(Taki snop!)
What we have in an inertial guidance system is the purest example of
analog computation, a topic with which you are probably not
experienced, because you keep groping for these 9 direction cosines
that you can stuff into a digital computer.
The pure analog is this: picture a chart with the X and Y axis drawn
horizontally and vertically called X and Y and by pure analog, a
resolver with 2 coils called X and Y orthogonally situated. When
currents enter the X and Y input coils, they create a magnetic vector
V between the 2 coils. By transformer action, the X' and Y' coils, in
the secondary, resolve V into their own components in their coordinate
set. Everything required by the stable platform is delivered nicely to
each of the axes.
No one has to lift a finger-the tricky job is done and they let God do
it.
The signals that are resolved are error signals generated by the
gyroscopes on the stable platform, because as the plane maneuvers, the
gimbal axes have to turn against friction tending to tip the platform.
The correct torques are automatically applied through the resolver
chain to counter this. 
Consequently we have the ideal situation of an inertial platform Fixed
in inertial space from which we can integrate on the East-West the
north-south accelerometers, with no problem.
The vertical axis of the stable platform needs to shift to keep a
local vertical, which changes as we go, and therefore the gyros are
torqued by current proportional to the integrated velocity = V/R. The
result is as the plane goes along, the earth vector is changing and
the platform keeps up.

Why do you think trigonometric functions
are not involved in analogue systems ?
They are, and even better than in digital ones,
as they are analogue continuous functions.

You would know it, if you were more experienced
in analogue systems... :-P

Utter, babbling, ignorant, nonsense.

No analog system has infinite resolution.

The "better" depends on the resolution and accuracy of the computational
elements.

Agree.

All sensors exploit a form of analogue physical/chemical effects or 
interaction. The DSP part may or may not be integrated, nevertheless 
present along the ulterior stages.

Who spoke about calculations ? they are not needed.

Do you really think that
e.g. the radio receiver antenne calculates anything
regarding its angle wrt to radio EM wave propagation ?

If you are talking about inertial navigation systems, you certainly
need to do a lot of calculations somehow.

No shit; that era being roughly 100 BC until the end of the 20th Century.

Did you just learn that from a web search?

Would it surprise you to learn analog computers are still used in
some applications?

The underlying physics and mathematics is independant of the hardware

That reminds me of the time (1972?) I was hired by a company  to
digitize their analog aircraft something simulator. There was a very
large schematic with  op-amp integrators (they may have used homemade
op-amps). There were about a half-dozen resolvers and the guy
explained to me they didn't know what to do with them.
So I figured out the proper matrix equations for each resolver that
could then be used in the digital version.
But, notice, the thing was working before I wrote any equations. Just
put a resolver wherever there's an axle that turns and the job is
done. 
The originating resolver forms a magnetic vector V, from the inputs X
and Y (like you would do with a straight edge on paper) and that same
magnetic V is properly dissected by the secondary coils into the 2
true geometric components in the next coordinates set offset by that
angle.

What I previously wanted to point out was,
that resolver is an elementary segment
of eventually more complex analog computer.

It produces at stator coils
voltage proportional to sinus, resp. cosinus of the angle,
that can be processed by other analog modules.

I think there could be previously misunderstanding
that I was going to work with cosines in digital computer.

I remember early 80s when I was on technical high school
and 2 of our enthusiastic professors
presented to our class a working analog computer:
2 big boxes, full of connectors and cables,
with few osciloscope or TV screens.

Wit op amps, some basic operations can be easily achieved.
