About Slug-foot squared (slug·ft²)

A US aerospace mass-moment-of-inertia unit (1 slug·ft² ≈ 1.356 kg·m²). Because aerospace engineers in the US keep F=ma self-consistent by using slugs as the mass unit, aircraft and missile inertia properties are often reported in slug·ft² in flight dynamics textbooks, stability derivatives, and simulation data decks.

About Gram-centimeter squared (g·cm²)

A CGS mass-moment-of-inertia unit (= 10⁻⁷ kg·m²) used for very small components: instrument gyroscopes, watch escapements, precision indexing wheels, and MEMS resonators. Optical precision instruments from historical-era European manufacturers often specify rotor inertia in g·cm².
