A visual display enhancing comfort by counteracting airsickness

A simulator study has been conducted demonstrating a positive effect on airsickness by utilizing a 3D artificial Earth-fixed visual pattern. Participants were exposed to the same turbulent physical aircraft motion in a simulator three times in a row, each time using a different visual cue. In one condition only the interior of the simulator...

Visuele informatiepresentatie in gevechtsvliegtuigen [Visual information presentation in combat planes]

With the increase in the number of electronic sensor and combat systems, the amount of information that is, or may be, presented to the fighter pilot has been explosively increased. In order to optimize the pilot's performance and to limit his workload, the design of the human-machine interface has to be based on the (new) technological...

Anticipatie en actieve stuurmiddelen bij helikopterbesturing [Anticipation and active controls in helicopter flight]

In the present study, effects of anticipation and active controls were investigated for nap-of-the-earth flying in a simulated helicopter. Pilots were requested to fly as accurately as possible through a 'tunnel-in-the-sky' with horizontal curves. Primary performance measure was the RMS deviation of the optimal trajectory, in the horizontal as...
