On the Possibility of Counteracting or Reducing G-Induced Spatial Disorientation With Visual Displays

Abstract

The possibility of counteracting or reducing g-induced spatial disorientation in fighter aircraft with visual displays is discussed in connection with the "classical" distinction between focal/ambient vision and inside-out/outside-in attitude display concepts. A relatively simple and uncomplicated laboratory method is presented that is utilized for exploring primarily visual flow coupling with spatial orientation. In part building on some experimental results from using the method some schematic implementation examples are illustrated, and some preliminary display design guidelines are also suggested.
