High-Speed, Low-Level Flight: Aircrew Factors

Abstract

This volume contains the texts and ensuing discussions of papers in Session B of the AGARD Aerospace Medical Panel's 36th Specialists' meeting on 'High-Speed, Low-Level Flight: Aircrew Factors', held in Lisbon, Portugal, from October 24th-26th, 1979. The Session was sponsored by the Biodynamics Sub- Committee of the Aerospace Medical Panel, and included invited contributions from the Flight Mechanics, and Guidance and Control Panels. The Session, of four half-days, was arranged in five parts, the specific subjects considered in the 28 papers being: Ride Quality and the Effect of the Physical Environment; Thermal Effects; Vibration Effects; Cockpit Design and Aircrew Workload; and Escape and Survival. Particular attention was paid to ride-bumpiness and the influence of airframe design and control strategy, the effects of vibration on vision, and the problems and potential uses of helmet mounted sights and displays.
