Abstract
As part of an overall research program to optimize both forward-looking and downward-looking tactical situation displays for all-weather instrument flight in vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, an integrated horizontal situation display was developed for both vertical and translational flight. This paper covers the development and initial experimentation of the downward-looking portion of the overall display and control system. The effects of eight factors on pilot performance were tested, and a multiple regression model of VTOL pilot performance as a function of those eight factors was derived for each of three dependent performance measures. Factors having important effects were position error magnification, control order, prediction time, control gain, tracking mode, and several of their interactions.
