This book was released on 2018-06 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To determine motion fidelity requirements, a series of piloted simulations was performed. Several key results were found. First, lateral and vertical translational platform cues had significant effects on fidelity. Their presence improved performance and reduced pilot workload. Second, yaw and roll rotational platform cues were not as important as the translational platform cues. In particular, the yaw rotational motion platform cue did not appear at all useful in improving performance or reducing workload. Third, when the lateral translational platform cue was combined with visual yaw rotational cues, pilots believed the platform was rotating when it was not. Thus, simulator systems can be made more efficient by proper combination of platform and visual cues. Fourth, motion fidelity specifications were revised that now provide simulator users with a better prediction of motion fidelity based upon the frequency responses of their motion control laws. Fifth, vertical platform motion affected pilot estimates of steady-state altitude during altitude repositioning. Finally, the combined results led to a general method for configuring helicopter motion systems and for developing simulator tasks that more likely represent actual flight. The overall results can serve as a guide to future simulator designers and to today's operators.Schroeder, Jeffery AllynAmes Research CenterFLIGHT SIMULATION; HELICOPTERS; ESTIMATES; VERTICAL MOTION; VISUAL STIMULI; YAW; CONTROL THEORY; CUES; PREDICTIONS; ROTATION; STEADY STATE; WORKLOADS (PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY)

This book was released on 1983 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of simulation features have been incorporated into military flight simulators in the belief that they add to the realism and, therefore, increase the training value (e.g., G-suit and G-seat simulation, visual dimming to simulate Gs). Motion simulation has been in this category; however, transfer of training studies have generally yielded inconclusive answers or lack of positive training value of motion for both multi-engine and fighter/attack simulators. Few studies have addressed the contribution of motion simulation to the training of helicopter pilots. This is the second in a series of four studies designed to assess the training effectiveness of the Device 2F64C, SH-3 helicopter flight simulator. The overall program is concerned with evaluating the training effectiveness of the device in various configurations. The present study was concerned with: assessing the contribution of motion simulation to the training of helicopter fleet replacement pilots; assessing the engineering fidelity of the motion platform concurrent with the study to insure that it was performing to design specifications; and identifying variables that are predictive of training success in fleet replacement training environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THe NASA Ames Digital Image Generation (DIG) system was purchased from the Link division of Singer Inc. The system provides a simulated out-the-window, visual image for a larg-vertical-motion flight simulator. As originally designed, the DIG can support four visual channels, which represent four aircraft windows with a single pilot eyepoint. The visual system was originally designed to support flight simulations of high altitude, high speed, fixed-wing aircraft. A Helicopter Air Combat (HAC) simulation required modifications to the DIG real-time software to support two helicopters engaged in low speed, low altitude, air-to-air combat. These modications included a second eyepoint to provide an out-the-window visual image for the secod aircraft pilot, new moving-target occulating algorithms, an algorithm to test for the existence of a clear line of sight between the opposing helicopters, and the addition of moving rotors on the helicopters in the scene. These modifications to the NASA Ames vertical Motion Simulator (VMS) system allowed two aircraft to ge independently piloted on a single CGI data base.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last 20 years, flight simulators have become widely accepted as training tools. Moreover, research simulators have been used extensively by the fixed-wind industry in the design, testing, and certification of new aircraft. The rotorcraft industry, however, has been slow to use man-in-the-loop simulation to solve its design problems, primarily because of the difficulty of modeling complex rotorcraft for realtime simulation and because of the need for a wide-angle visual system for low-level flight. A joint U.S. Army and NASA program has been initiated to provide this simulation capability for exploitation by both government and industry. This paper, a status report of that program, discusses the potential application of the research simulator to future rotorcraft systems design, development, product improvement evaluations, and safety analysis.

Download or read book Handbook of Simulator Based Training written by Eric Farmer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in simulation technology have enabled an interesting amount of training and instruction to be conducted on training simulators instead of on real systems. However, experiences with the procurement and use of training simulators has not always been as successful, often owing to a lack of knowledge of didactics and of training programme development, and also to inadequate simulator specifications. The Handbook of Simulator-based Training represents the first comprehensive overview of the European state of the art in simulator-based training. It also comprises a well-founded and systematic approach to simulator-based training and the specification of simulator requirements. The multi-disciplinary research project described in this book combines the expertise of specialists in human factors, information systems, system design and engineering from 23 research and industrial organizations from five countries - France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK. The authors have synthesized and documented the project results to ensure that this handbook provides not only many valuable guidelines, but more importantly a common frame of reference. It will be a key resource for the many specialists who are concerned with simulator-based training: researchers, engineers, and users; military training institutes and training system development departments; military staff responsible for the procurement of training devices and simulators; the simulator industry; the training research community; and the human factors and ergonomics community.

Download or read book The Lean Product Design and Development Journey written by Marcus Vinicius Pereira Pessôa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a series of high performance product design (PD) and development best practices that can create or improve product development organization. In contrast to other books that focus only on Toyota or other individual companies applying lean IPD, this book explains the lean philosophy more broadly and includes discussions of systems engineering, design for X (DFX), agile development, integrated product development, and project management. The “Lean Journey” proposed here takes a value-centric approach, where the lean principles are applied to PD to allow the tools and methods selected to emerge from observation of the individual characteristics of each enterprise. This means that understanding lean product development (LPD) is not about knowing which tools are available but knowing how to apply the philosophy. The book comes with an accompanying manual with problems and solutions available on Springer Extras.

Book excerpt: Covering field history and discussing actual modern-day pilot actions and tasks, the editors of this volume have integrated contributions from leaders in aviation to present psychological principles and research pertinent to the interface between a pilot and the cockpit. The book addresses the pilot‘s cognitive demands, capabilities, and limitations, which have important implications for operator selection and training as well as display/control designs in the cockpit. It emphasizes scientific methods of achieving this understanding and implies that theories and principles of human behavior are shaped and improved by practical problems and applied studies.

Download or read book Technical Requirements for Benchmark Simulator based Terminal Instrument Procedures TERPS Evaluation written by Anil V. Phatak and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to take full advantage of the helicopter's unique flight characteristics, enhanced terminal instrument procedures (TERPS) need to be developed for a variety of non-standard operational situations. These include non-standard landing navigation aids, precision and non-precision approach profiles, landing sites, and avionics systems. Currently, TERPS criteria are largely established by extensive flight testing. This study examined the requirements for using helicopter cockpit simulators in place of flight testing to generate data necessary for enhanced TERPS development.

Download or read book Vehicle Simulation written by Alfred T. Lee and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the problem of fidelity in the design of virtual environments with specific reference to the design of vehicle simulators. The default design goal has been on the physical replication of a given real-world environment and, in the case of vehicles, the specific appearance and function of vehicle components. This book discusses that perceptual, rather than physical, fidelity of a virtual environment, should be the design goal and the principal purpose is to produce human behavior. This book provides the rationale and design guidance to maximize perceptual fidelity in the development of virtual environments, and therefore maximize the costeffectiveness as well.
