HUMAN TRACKING ABILITY FOR MAXIMUM TERRAIN FOLLOWING (PROJECT DIRECT).
Abstract
The present experiment examined two command signals: the aircraft flight vector angle, and the elevator deflection angle. Each of these two command signals were computed for three aircraft speeds, 0.6M, 0.75M, and 0.9M over two terrains, Southern Pennsylvania and Rocky Mountain. A group of twelve subjects was randomly assigned to each command signal for the experiment. Each subject flew each combination of aircraft speed and terrain (6 combinations) on each of three successive days. Three measures of performance were used, namely, integrated tracking error, normalized average clearance and normalized average offset. Conclusions and recommendations are presented. (Author)
