A study was conducted to investigate
new approaches in motion simulation. The study developed a conceptual model
of pilot control of an aircraft which was subsequently used in a
need-based analysis of motion cuing devices. The analysis technique involved a frequency domain representation
of aircraft maneuvers, pilot perception of these maneuvers, and pilot
perception of the cues from various simulator cuing
devices. The analysis led to an assessment founded upon principles of
pilot perception and behavior. An analysis task was performed on a pop-up
attack in an F-4 aircraft to generate the aircraft maneuver time histories
and pilot cue matrix. The results were used in a frequency domain analysis
to determine the value of cuing devices for particular
portions of the maneuver. The study investigated various
cuing techniques beginning with proposed optimization of
existing devices and proceeding to discuss several new
techniques such as vibromyesthetic stimulation and direct electrical
stimulation of nerves and muscles. The report concludes with
recommendations for (1) future work employing the newly developed
analytical technique and (2) experimentation with selected
new devices to determine their cuing
value. Flight simulators, Flight simulation, Human factors,
