<p>A planar Coriolis. gyroscope comprising at least two counter oscillating masses attached to a common rigid frame by means of a first plurality of elastic members and constituting an excitation axis, said frame is attached to a support region by means of a second plurality of elastic members which together with the masses constitute at least one Coriolis resonator. Said Coriolis resonator responds to inertial rotation of the gyroscope and in conjunction with a position pickoff provides a signal indicative on the gyroscope inertial rotation.</p>
