Four deficiencies and seven shortcomings associated with flying the AH-1F in IMC were identified. The deficiencies were: (1) the easily excited lateral gust response; (2) the unsatisfactory location of avionics controls; (3) the poor cyclic flight control system mechanical characteristics; and (4) the large change in airspeed position error in climbs. The AH-1F is unacceptable for flight in IMC. Modifications evaluated in an attempt to correct the aircraft deficiencies included use of the air...

Earlier work has demonstrated that knowledge of the internal structure of a simple control panel device enables people to more quickly learn how to operate the device, or to infer how to operate it in the absence of explicit instructions. An experiment is reported that shows that the important aspect of the knowledge about the device is the information about the system topology. This is information about the pattern of connections between the internal components and the operating controls and...

A small plant for treating marine piling was constructed at the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory. Although primarily designed for creosote service, the plant is readily adaptable to other treatments and simulates equipment in use by commercial treating firms. Pre-service tests and initial operations indicate the treatment plant performs as expected and is ready for service applications.

The need has arisen in the Naval Ordnance Laboratory for an apparatus to measure the susceptibility of explosives and pyrotechnic materials to initiation by a static electrical spark discharge. By charging a known condenser to a known voltage, a calculable quantity of energy can be dissipated in a spark through an explosive sample. After some preliminary work at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory and after the inspection of the apparatus at the Bureau of Mines, it was decided to build an apparatus...

Experiments were conducted to measure the maximum isometric forces male subjects could exert at six locations of hand-operated aircraft controls. Forces were measured in two vertical and four to eight horizontal directions. The subjects (n=51) sat in a simulated aircraft seat and exerted forces on a cylindrical handle. Selected anthropometric dimensions were obtained on the subjects and compared with those from the 1967 USAF anthropometric survey of flying personnel. Summary statistics,...

Fifteen men served as subjects for one-, two-, and four-choice reaction time conditions. Fifty trials on each condition were administered for 15 days. Results indicated that across all RT conditions, intersession correlations were differentially stable by about Day 8, with reliabilities around .71. Means and variances remained unchanged over the stable days for the RT...

A High Acceleration Cockpit evaluation program was conducted for an advanced fighter concept. Program effort included evaluations within the context of a mission scenario by a total of 40 operational pilots in a static design aid. Various specific areas of concept were evaluated as well as the overall need/utility of the crew station. Resulting measures allowed identification of those areas where future R/D effort should be focused.
