In a Turn and Slip indicator, the effect of increasing the rotor speed would be
- it would have no effect.
- it would under read.
- it would over read.
Explanation
The needle deflection is proportional to the precessing torque, which rises with rotor angular momentum. Increasing rotor speed makes a given rate of turn produce a larger precession and gimbal movement, so the instrument over-reads the turn rate. This is why the rotor speed must be held to the design value.

MAY BE IT IS WRONG SINCE MORE SPEED MEANS MORE FORCE IS REQUIRED TO MOVE SO UNDERREAD
