Recommendations for Future Research on High Acceleration Cockpits with Annotated Bibliography of the Literature 1936-1992
Abstract
This is a review of the high acceleration cockpits (HAC) literature over the past fifty-six years and a compilation of that literature into twelve sections: aerodynamics, ejection seats and escape systems, ergonomics, pilot mobility in supine seats, pilot performance in supine seats, positive pressure breathing, pronation/prone seats, seats and restraints, spatial disorientation, tactics (air combat), tolerance (physiological), and vision. The objectives of this research are to assemble in one location the bulk of the literature pertaining to HAC research, to review that research, and to define additional research that may be required to provide a basis upon which to consider the incorporation of the HAC concept into an operational aircraft. Each section of this report begins with a review of the literature and recommendations are made for future research. Following each section is an annotated bibliography of the high acceleration cockpit research literature. The time span of this bibliography runs from 1936 to 1992.
