A vibration control assembly for an aircraft includes a housing operatively coupled to the aircraft. Also included is a cage disposed within an interior region of the housing, the cage rotatable within the housing about a first axis. Further included is a gyroscope wheel disposed within the cage and rotatable about a second axis other than the first axis, wherein a controllable moment is imposed on the aircraft upon rotation of the gyroscope wheel to counter vibratory moments produced by the vehicle. Yet further included is a control assembly at least partially surrounding the gyroscope wheel for controlling the controllable moment. The control assembly includes a structure having an inner surface, a track disposed along the inner surface, and an arm operatively coupled to the gyroscope wheel, the arm having an end disposed within the track, the gyroscope wheel angularly displaceable upon translation of the arm along the track
