FEASIBILITY STUDY OF A LEVERED VEHICLE (PART 1)

Abstract

Engineering studies on the feasibility of a fullsize, man-operated, levered vehicle have been conducted in three areas: (1) establishment of preliminary performance; (2) analysis of perambulation; (3) human factors analysis. Results indicate that the concept is feasible within certain performance limits, and that an agility demonstrator is required for proof of feasibility.
