If you drop a spinning gyroscope alongside a regular object, the gyroscope
will not simply fall straight down. It will follow a slower spiraling
path and land after the other object.

If you drop it in vacuum it falls straight down. If you drop it in
air you may get aerodyanmic effects that depend on the shape and
orientation of the gyroscope.
