Piloted Simulation Investigation of Helicopter Flight Envelope Tactile Cueing

摘要

Two ground-based piloted simulation trials of helicopter flight envelope tactile cueing have been conducted. The objective of the trials was to develop methods of helping the pilot to observe flight envelope limits while conducting precise and demanding evaluation tasks. In one trial, large-displacement conventional inceptors were used; in the other, short displacement sidesticks. The inceptors in both trials were programmable and active.
