Data are presented to guide the designer in placing aircraft controls to be operated by lightly clothed or pressure-suited aircrewmen. The capabilities of 17 subjects wearing various combinations of personal equipment to reach 81 locations within a 180 deg arc forward of seat reference point were determined. Each subject was tested while wearing personal equipment, consisting of an underarm life preserver, parachute harness and, successively, a K2B flight coverall, an uniflated, and inflated A/P22S-2 full-pressure suit. The subjects sat in a seat configured to approximate Air Force specifications. During the test they were restrained in the seat by a lap belt and shoulder straps with the inertial reel locked and again with the inertial reel unlocked. Pictorial descriptions of the dimensions, the reach capabilities of each subject, and recommended design values are presented.

"One hundred and eleven university students were divided into four groups. Each group was tested on the same psycho--motor pursuit task but utilized different controls. Two of the groups operated their controls from the seated position, and two from the prone position. One of the seated groups used the conventional stick and rudder controls, and the second seated group together with one of the prone--position groups employed a three--dimensional hand control. The second prone--position group used the Amptmann three--dimensional control. The results indicated that for either of the positions, seated or prone, the type of control utilized made little or no difference as far as performance on the pursuit task was concerned. However, performance in the prone position was found to be significantly inferior to that in the seated position. The indications are, therefore, that for this kind of task the type of control is relatively unimportant but the position of the pilot's body may be a prime consideration."--Abstract.

Here a leading researcher provides a comprehensive treatment of the design of automatic control logic for spacecraft and aircraft. In this book Arthur Bryson describes the linear-quadratic-regulator (LQR) method of feedback control synthesis, which coordinates multiple controls, producing graceful maneuvers comparable to those of an expert pilot. The first half of the work is about attitude control of rigid and flexible spacecraft using momentum wheels, spin, fixed thrusters, and gimbaled engines. Guidance for nearly circular orbits is discussed. The second half is about aircraft attitude and flight path control. This section discusses autopilot designs for cruise, climb-descent, coordinated turns, and automatic landing. One chapter deals with controlling helicopters near hover, and another offers an introduction to the stabilization of aeroelastic instabilities. Throughout the book there is a strong emphasis on the mathematical modeling necessary for designing a good feedback control system. The appendixes summarize analysis of linear dynamic systems, synthesis of analog and digital feedback control, simulation, and modeling of flexible vehicles.

This is an illustrated technical guide to the Boeing 737 aircraft. Containing extensive explanatory notes, facts, tips and points of interest on all aspects of this hugely successful airliner and showing its technical evolution from its early design in the 1960s through to the latest advances in the MAX. The book provides detailed descriptions of systems, internal and external components, their locations and functions, together with pilots notes and technical specifications. It is illustrated with over 500 photographs, diagrams and schematics.Chris Brady has written this book after many years developing the highly successful and informative Boeing 737 Technical Site, known throughout the world by pilots, trainers and engineers as the most authoritative open source of information freely available about the 737.

Proceedings are reported of a symposium held in Dayton, sponsored by the Flight Dynamics Laboratory during 2-5 March 1982. The symposium was planned and ran by the Flight Control Division, specifically the Flying Qualities Group and the Control Techniques Group as part of an ongoing effort to revise and upgrade both MIL-F-8785C, Military Specification, Flying Qualities of Piloted Airplanes, and MIL-F-9490D, Flight Control System-Design, Installation and Test of Piloted Aircraft, General Specification For. Specialists from both the flying qualities and flight control system disciplines were gathered in Dayton from both industry and government agencies. Formal and informal presentations, plus workshop discussions, were structured around proposed draft versions of the new Flying Qualities MIL-Standard and Handbook and the new Flight Control Systems MIL-Specification and Handbook. This report contains a record of the presentations and discussions as submitted by the individual authors.
