This book was released on 1971 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study has been conducted to determine the effect of several variations of two types of visual display systems on subjective pilot evaluations and objective measures of performance in the landing approach. Two types of flight approaches were made with either a projector or quasicollimated monitor visual display: (I) the instrument approach, and (2) the visual approach without the normal cockpit instrumentation assistance. The variables examined were color; differences between displays due to quasicollimation of the monitor display; and reduced resolution as related to brightness, contrast, and sharpness. The use of color had two main effects on pilot performance in the landing approach. The touchdown distance and standard deviations increased more for the monitor displays, and the touchdown rates of descent were slightly lower. With quasicollimation, the standard deviations of touchdown distance increased, and the rate-of-descent standard deviations decreased in a direction more favorable with the actual flight data; an association between the standard deviations of rate of descent and touchdown distance suggests that a corresponding decrease in the deviation of rate of descent will be offset with an increase in the deviations of touchdown distance. The time outside the glide-slope error limits was less with the monitor display than with the projector display, and the lateral localizer error was smaller for the projector display because the pilots intercepted the runway center line at a greater distance from the threshold. With reduced resolution, there was a slight change in the touchdown distance and the standard deviation; for the flights made without color, the landings were predominantly to the right of the runway center line with twice the standard deviation. The pilots were more critical of the black and white variation for either display, and favored more use of a color system. Advantages cited for a color system included greater pilot relaxation, decreased fatigue, better picture quality, and more realistic depth perception, particularly with the monitor display. With regard to the reduced-resolution monitor display, the pilots also noted a loss in depth perception and height references, increased visual fatigue, and increased efforts for a reasonable approach in comparison with the projector display. The objective performance measures of the study were reasonably consistent with the pilots' subjective evaluations and comments.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore and demonstrate computer-generated visual displays for dynamic flight simulation. The study was to produce a demonstration, a motion picture film, and a report describing and demonstrating the realism, flexibility, and potential of computer-generated perspective pictures for use with carrier landing simulation. Various complexities of carrier realism, both during the day and at night, were to be demonstrated and recorded. It is shown that it is entirely possible to produce dynamically-changing pictures of the aircraft carrier both quickly enough to keep up with a real-time simulation and realistic enough to be of substantial aid to the pilot-trainee. The report describes both the techniques used to produce these pictures and the potentials of the technique. The equipment used is also described in considerable detail. This report outlines the equipment required to connect this kind of visual simulation onto existing flight simulation equipment. The connection between the visual simulation equipment and the other parts of the simulation is relatively simple, since the simulation need provide only the aircraft position and orientation to the visual picture generator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contractual effort was directed to the study to determine, examine and evaluate the cost and effectiveness of alternate methodologies for providing simulation capabilities of airborne sensor displays likely to be operational on combat aircraft throughout the 1980's and early 90's at levels of fidelity appropriate to R & D in flight simulation at the Flight Dynamics Laboratory. This study examined the state of the art and the projected technology of sensor systems adaptable to the combat aircraft engaged in threat environment in varied atmospheric weather conditions in dawn, dusk, night and day light. Some of the advanced sensor systems which were the focus of attention are the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infra Red System for Night (LANTIRN), Target Acquisition/Designator System (TADS), Pilot Night Visual System (PNVS), and Multispectral Target Cuing (MYSTIC). These systems employ some technology of Low-Light Level Television (LLLTV), Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and Laser Radar. The methodologies of simulating these sensor systems and integrating them to the out-of-the-cockpit image generation systems available at FDL for full mission environment were investigated and recommendations addressing the future additions to and modifications of the facilities at FDL were presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Realistic and immersive simulations of land, sea, and sky are requisite to the military use of visual simulation for mission planning. Until recently, the simulation of natural environments has been limited first of all by the pixel resolution of visual displays. Visual simulation of those natural environments has also been limited by the scarcity of detailed and accurate physical descriptions of them. Our aim has been to change all that. To this end, many of us have labored in adjacent fields of psych- ogy, engineering, human factors, and computer science. Our efforts in these areas were occasioned by a single question: how distantly can fast-jet pilots discern the aspect angle of an opposing aircraft, in visual simulation? This question needs some ela- ration: it concerns fast jets, because those simulations involve the representation of high speeds over wide swaths of landscape. It concerns pilots, since they begin their careers with above-average acuity of vision, as a population. And it concerns aspect angle, which is as much as to say that the three-dimensional orientation of an opposing aircraft relative to one’s own, as revealed by motion and solid form. v vi Preface The single question is by no means simple. It demands a criterion for eye-limiting resolution in simulation. That notion is a central one to our study, though much abused in general discussion. The question at hand, as it was posed in the 1990s, has been accompanied by others.

Book excerpt: Advances in computer, visual display, motion and force cueing and other technologies in the past two decades have had a dramatic effect on the design and use of simulation technology in aviation and other fields. The effective use of technology in training, safety investigation, engineering and scientific research requires an understanding of its capabilities and limitations. As the technology has as its primary goal the creation of virtual environments for human users, knowledge of human sensory, perceptual, and cognitive functioning is also needed. This book provides a review and analysis of the relevant engineering and science supporting the design and use of advanced flight simulation technologies. It includes chapters reviewing key simulation areas such as visual scene, motion, and sound simulation and a chapter analyzing the role of recreating the pilot's task environment in the overall effectiveness of simulators. The design and use of flight simulation are addressed in chapters on the effectiveness of flight simulators in training and on the role of physical and psychological fidelity in simulator design. The problems inherent in the ground-based simulation of flight are also reviewed as are promising developments in flight simulation technology and the important role flight simulators play in advanced aviation research. The readership includes: flight simulation engineers and designers, human factors researchers and practitioners, aviation safety investigators, flight training management and instructors, training and instructional technologists, virtual environment design community, and regulatory authorities.

Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to examine human depth perception as it relates to the requirements for visual simulation in Air Force flight simulators. Most, if not all, flying tasks require that depth judgments be made on the basis of extra-cockpit visual information. The bases on which such judgments are made by observers in the real world have been the subject of study for more than a century, and the majority of the cues have been identified. This effort examines the visual displays of a sample of Air Force and commercial flight simulators in order to assess the efficacy with which these cues are presented in visual simulation systems.
