Abstract
At the Delft University of Technology, a long-term research project on the perception of aircraft motions by the pilot is in progress. The most recent results of this research show that the contributions of the central and peripheral visual system, the vestibular system, and the interaction between these systems are of primary importance to the perception of aircraft motions. Considering the results obtained so far, a simple linear model, incorporating the visual and vestibular sensors, has been developed. With this model, the influence of the visual and vestibular motion cues, the simulation time delays, and the washout filters on the pilot-simulated aircraft closed loop can be analyzed. The results show that the present maximum allowed time delay of 150 ms has a stronger influence on pilot's performance and required adaptation then the classical washout filters.
