The same basic concept; namely that: (a) pilot rating is a function of pilot model lead (workload) and closed loop root-mean-square errors (performance) and (b) the pilot adjusts his form of control to minimize his own pilot rating, have now been applied to hover, pitch attitude control and roll control. In all cases the rating functional has been found to be very similar with, at most, different...
The results of several recent applications of the "Pitch Paper Pilot" (an automated means of predicting pilot acceptance ratings) to the synthesis of flight control systems are reviewed. Early work in this area produced "effective" system dynamics that compare extremely well with military flying requirements. That is, the vehicle dynamics when augmented with an optimal parameter...
This work was undertaken to obtain a description of a portion (the otolith organs) of the human vestibular system. The vestibular system is fairly inaccessible; thus, measurement by direct observation is difficult. Previous research has shown that eyeball counterroll is one external manifestation of the vestibular system response. In this work, therefore, an indirect measurement of the human vestibular...
