The brain trust that brought the world some of the most significant scientific breakthroughs--the first electric self-starter, first moon car and the aircraft inertial guidance system used on the Boeing 747, among other developments--had become a victim of downsizing as the automaker's market share began to tumble and leaders began to chip away at what were considered unneeded costs.

An inertial guidance system developed for the X-20 was later used on the X-15 rockets, as was an electric, rather than hydraulic, flight control system.

The other is an inertial guidance system, which helps track the airplane's position and movement.
