A STUDY OF SIMULATED ROTARY WING HOVERING PERFORMANCE AS A FUNCTION OF SYMBOL HEADING USING A MOVING SYMBOL-FIXED MAP PICTORIAL POSITION DISPLAY
Abstract
This report describes the first in a series of studies in the ANIP program designed to examine rotary-wing, VTOL and GEM system requirements for pictorial position displays. This study was designed to examine the ANIP display philosophy and the rotary wing mneuvi an experiment which would permit comparison with research results of fixed-wing studies. The purpose of this study was to examine pilot performance in maintaining hovering position when using a simplified simulated rotary-wing flight system. The experimental variables were: symbol heading on a fixed map-moving aircratm il ndinclusion of an earth grid attitude display (contact analog or vertical display). (Author)
