Motion Sickness among Passengers in Future Army Aircraft.

Abstract

The objectives of the study were (1) to determine the likelihood of motion sickness among combat troop passengers in certain Army aircraft expected to be available in the 1970-75 time frame, and (2) if this likelihood should be significantly high, to describe means of amelioration. The methods employed were as follows: (1) A review of the pertinent aeromedical literature was conducted; (2) During the literature review, the motion sickness phenomena described in the literature were related to available information on the flight envelopes anticipated for the aircraft involved; (3) Upon completion of the literature review, consultations were held with members of the staff of the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory and the U.S. Naval Aerospace Medical Institute.
