Mathematical Models for Human Pilot Maneuvers in Aircraft Flight Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mathematical models are presented in this paper to describe human maneuvers for aircraft flight simulation. Input parameters for the human pilot model (HPM), such as the course deviation indicator (CDI) and the heading change, are defined for the model, and are related mathematically to those in the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for automatic control. Similarities are discussed between the parameters in HPM and those in the automatic control for better understanding of the significance of human factors and their effect on aircraft behavior. Examples for the HPM include aircraft instrument landing system (ILS) lateral and vertical control, heading change, and homing. The model is tested by using the high-fidelity flight simulation simulator JSBSim [1].

This paper documents some of the early results of a three year project to develop a computational method for accurately determining static and dynamic stability and control derivatives of a fighter with various weapons configurations as well as the aircraft response to pilot input. In this first year of the project computational data is gathered for a rigid F-16 with no control surface movement...
متن کاملCombined Optimization of Aircraft Maneuvers and RF Measurements for Passive Air-Air Ranging
When a tactical aircraft sets out on a mission in dense airborne and surface RF (radio frequency) emitter environment, the pilot desires to minimize the use of the onboard fire control radar to remain “silent.” Consequently, the pilot heavily relies on the onboard passive sensors and offboard reports received from wingmen and other sources. The onboard sensors may include a RWR (radar warning r...
متن کاملGeneric Pilot and Flight Control Model for Use in Simulation Studies
In developing an aircraft simulation, a number of aircraft dynamic models are available with a range of fidelity. However, many applications of simulation also require a model of the flight control or of the pilot to realize their goals. These models can be difficult to implement using classical control methods and, in the case of flight control systems, may not be publicly available. This pape...

This paper describes the measuring of pilot response time to a sudden change in a controlled parameter whilst flying an aircraft. The authors of this paper created an analytical model of human behavior from the basic data of an automated regulation. The measurements have been done on a Cessna 152 simulator at the University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield. The tested pilots were pilot students with ...
