EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OF A SIMULATED FLIGHT TEST USING VARIOUS CONTACT ANALOG TEXTURE FORMATS.

Abstract

The experiment was performed to investigate whether synthetic ground and sky textures, displayed on a contact analog display, affect the ability of the pilot to follow command symbols presented to him during flight. Ninety-six laboratory simulated flights were flown and errors from prescribed path were recorded on magnetic tape. The data was reduced by a CDC 3200 computer and an analysis of variance was performed. The analysis indicated that no significant changes in errors occurred for the four combinations of ground and sky textures displayed. (Author)
