APPLICATION OF HARMONIC ANALYSIS IN A STUDY OF TRACKING PERFORMANCE IN THE TV-2 AIRCRAFT AND IN CENTRIFUGE AND STATIONARY SIMULATIONS OF THAT AIRCRAFT.
Abstract
Piloting performance in a continuous tracking task was studied in an aircraft, in human centrifuge simulations controlled by a computer simulation of the aircraft, and in a stationary simulation. Continuous records of elevator and aileron control surface deflections were subjected to a power spectral density analysis. Results indicate that there is a reduction in the contributions of high frequency components of power, successively, from the static simulation to the centrifuge simulations, to the aircraft itself. The power spectral density function for performance in a centrifuge simulation is more like that for the aircraft than is the power spectral density function in a static simulation. (Author)
