- inertial frame of referenceA frame of reference that is stationary relative to a body moving at constant velocity and on which no force is being exerted.
- inertial navigation systemA self-contained navigation device that determines an object's position, orientation, and velocity without relying on external references.
- inertial referenceAny of various devices found in airplanes, missiles, satellites, guns, etc. that sense and calculate data such as linear acceleration and turning rate around each axis and which send that data on to other systems.
- inertial frameEllipsis of inertial frame of reference.
- inertial framesplural of inertial frame: Ellipsis of inertial frame of reference.
- inertial guidanceAn automated system which directs a craft or missile, continually calculating its position from its measured acceleration.
