INTRODUCTION Neck pain in fighter pilots has been studied by several air forces and found to be relatively common. The aim of this project was to study the incidence, characteristics, possible associated causative factors, and operational impact of neck pain in Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF) fighter pilots. METHODS The study was designed as a retrospective anonymous questionnaire survey, c...

Sensors, weapons and systems are some of the key determinants of success in counter-air warfare. This paper explores the growth potential in many of the basic technologies used to implement sensors, weapons and systems in the coming generation of fighters. Conclusions are drawn about potential performance and capability growth resulting from improvements in basic technology in the coming two de...

CONCLUSION There were no changes in the function of the six semicircular canals in active fighter pilots, through the use of the video head impulse test (vHIT). These results suggest that the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) works well at the high frequencies related to the natural head movements in this population. OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The vestibular function in pilots has been reported as bein...

An extensive experimental investigation is conducted to study the effect of canard position relative to the fuselage reference line on the aerodynamic forces of a fighter type configuration model. Aerodynamic forces at different flight conditions are measured in a subsonic wind tunnel. The wing and the canard have triquetrous shapes. Experiments are conducted at Reynolds number of 342209 and at...

The mixed sensitivity design method for multivariable linear control systems proposed in the companion paper (Kwakernaak, 2001) is applied to the design of a stability augmentation system for the longitudinal motion of a fighter airplane previously studied by Safonov and Chiang (1988). Both H∞ and 2 H mixed sensitivity design are considered. They lead to quite similar results. Copyright © 2002 ...

Situational awareness is essential for decision makers to efficiently manage their resources. Situational awareness has historically been associated with aviation security applications, such as air traffic control (ATC), fighter missions, and missile defence. However, the number of studies in the field of situational awareness for new applications has grown significantly in the past fifteen yea...

Teknologi pada media game telah menggeser fungsi yang sebelumnya dikenal sebagai entertainment menjadi multi guna, salah satunya adalah edukasi. Game saat ini ramai dimanfaatkan oleh banyak pihak untuk edukasi lebih dekat dan nyaman bagi masyarakat, Covid Fighter bertujuan memberikan terhadap anak sekolah agar melakukan kegiatan tatap muka di sekolah, siswa/I sudah siap menghadapinya masa pande...

The Environmental Control System (ECS) of the Saab Gripen fighter provides a number of vital functions, such as provision of coolant air to the avionics, comfort air to the cockpit, and pressurization of the aircraft fuel system. To support system design, a detailed simulation model has been developed in the Modelica-based tool Dymola. The model needs to be a “good system representation”, durin...
