Helicopter Aeromedical Research: The Need.

Abstract

This study attempts to determine if there is a need for a helicopter aeromedical research capability. The need for helicopter aeromedical research is examined from several aspects: (1) a historical review of aeromedical research from the beginning of flight up to the establishment of a helicopter aeromedical research laboratory in 1962; (2) the correlation of physiological problems associated with each new development in airplane technology; (3) an anlaysis of the Army, Navy, and Air Force aeromedical research facilities, capabilities, and programs; (4) a comparative analysis of the three military departments resources; and (5) review of the threat facing ground forces today.
