Tanker Avionics/Aircrew Complement Evaluation (TAACE). Phase I. Simulation Evaluation. Volume I. Results
Abstract
This report documents a cockpit simulation study conducted to validate the pilot useability of a 3-man (pilot, copilot, boom operator), KC-135 crew system concept. Earlier analysis and mockup evaluation studies had established preliminary design criteria and control display arrangements. The effort reported herein draws upon this earlier work, and through full mission simulation, validates display formats, cockpit hardware arrangements and crew procedures. In addition a 'KC-135 Crew System Criteria' document was written deriving from mission statements and control display research, design criteria for operating the tanker with a reduced crew.
