Aviator performance in week-long extended flight operations in a helicopter simulator

The Effects of Modafinil on Aviator Performance During 40 Hours of Continuous Wakefulness: A UH-60 Helicopter Simulator Study

Stimulant Use in Extended Flight Operations

P SY CHOSTIMU LANTS, par ticu larly ampheta mine, be came avail able in Amer ica for clini cal use in 1937, and since then have been widely prescribed. More re cently, their bene fi cial ef fects have been over shad owed by the rec og ni tion of a sig nifi cant abuse po ten tial. Nev er the less, the mili tary serv ices, par ticu larly the Air Force, have rec og nized the value of psy chostimu ...

Helicopter Rotor Airloads Prediction Using CFD and Flight Test Measurement in Hover Flight

An implicit unsteady upwind solver including a mesh motion approach was applied to simulate a helicopter including body, main rotor and tail rotor in hover flight. The discretization was based on a second order finite volume approach with fluxes given by the Roeand#39;s scheme. Discretization of Geometric Conservation Laws (GCL) was devised in such a way that the three-dimensional flows on arbi...

Autonomous Flight Control and Hardware-in-the-loop Simulator for a Small Helicopter

The paper describes hardware development for a small helicopter and a hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) simulator for flight control system and obstacle avoidance testing and validation. The proposed obstacle avoidance system (OAS) is briefly outlined. The HITL simulator is developed to closely mimic the behavior of the actual flight hardware so as to easily develop, debug, and test the flight contro...

: WT ä - K Stimulant Use in Extended Flight Operations

PSYCHOSTTMULANTS, particularly amphetamine, became available in America for clinical use in 1937, and since then have been widely prescribed. More recently, their bene ficial effects have been overshadowed by the recognition of a significant abuse potential. Nevertheless, the military services, particularly the Air Force, have recognized the value of psychostimulants under certain conditions. U...
