On Task Dependence of Helicopter Pilot Biodynamic Feedthrough and Neuromuscular Admittance: An Experimental and Numerical Study

In this article, the results of a piloted flight simulator campaign aimed at measuring biomechanical performance indicators helicopter pilot performing complex, realistic tasks are presented. The upper limbs' motion and activation main muscle groups left arm were measured during ship-deck landings, performed flying several configurations with sea conditions variable intensity. analysis shows an increase in activity relative to task difficulty, agreement subjective ratings (Bedford workload scale). study provides useful indications improve corresponding simulations, as well characterize pilot's specific tasks.
