Display and System Requirements for Low-Visibility Formation Flight: Summary of Results.
Abstract
A summary of results of an eight-phase, applied research program on low-visibility (IFR) formation flight display and system requirements is presented. The objective of this program was to define and validate through simulation total formation flight system concepts from the pilot's viewpoint. System characteristics and features that were investigated included: displays, display control laws, flight control, measurement systems, aircraft types, pilot skill acquisition, and system failures. Study results show comprehensively how manual formation flight system performance relates to various system element and operational characteristics. Steps to further validate and demonstrate the system concepts are suggested. (Author)
