SAFEZONE Escape Alert System Development Program. Phase I,System Development,

摘要

A program was conducted to establish the basic value of a system designed to provide the aircrewman of an escape system equipped aircraft with a continuous indication of inflight escape capability. The system,as conceived,monitors aircraft dynamic conditions such as altitude,sink rate,and attitude,and provides this data to an onboard computer. Continuous computations are made and the results displayed to the aircrewman. Simulated flight envelopes were flown in a G degree-of-freedom moving base simulator. This included spin,attack,and flameout approach simulation. Two display concepts were evaluated; a digital read out of time remaining and an analog display with time remaining and rate of change displayed. Pilot performance was measured and pilot opinion was registered.
