Description

Report describing the design, evaluation, and integration of controls and displays for advanced flight vehicles that present recurrent problems for the human engineer. This report presents a method for solving these on a fast-time analog computer and describes one application, centered on the use of a dynamic model of the pilot which can be instrumented on the computer along with the airframe and flight control dynamics, thus permitting design and evaluation of the total closed loop system during the early design phase. Study method, results presented in figures, and discussion of future directions for the study are included.
