A PILOT EVALUATION OF MOVABLE AND RIGID AIRCRAFT CONTROLS.

Abstract

A simulator facility employing a two-axis compensatory tracking task with a random-appearing signal was used to evaluate the performance of fifty-five pilot and non-pilot test subjects using four separate control sticks--two movable and two rigid. Pilot acceptance of the rigid cockpit controllers was determined by comparing individual pilot ratings of the sticks. (Author)
