Barendswaard, S. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Vehicle control tasks require simultaneous control of multiple degrees-of-freedom. Most multi-axis human-control modeling is limited to the modeling of multiple fully independent single axes. This paper contributes to the understanding of multi-axis control behavior and draws a more realistic and complete picture of dual-axis manual control....journal article 2019

Butijn, Martin (author), Lu, T. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author)This paper investigates the human controllers’ sensitivity to added first-order lag-lead and lead-lag dy- namics in the controlled system dynamics using a cybernetic approach and a dedicated human-in-the-loop experiment. The extent to which human controllers will adapt their control dynamics to these added dynamics is objectively determined and...conference paper 2019

Fu, W. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)This study revisits the active manipulator developed for manual aircraft control. The active manipulator sends the force applied by the pilot to the aircraft while feeding back the aircraft rotational velocity bymeans of its deflection angle. We find that the activemanipulator, in comparison with the conventional passive manipulator, greatly...conference paper 2019

van Baelen, D. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Modern fly-by-wire aircraft use flight envelope protection systems, whose actions are not always clear to pilots. To promote situation awareness, proximity to the limits of the flight envelope can be communicated using haptic feedback, by providing forces through the control device. Such a system was developed and this paper reports on the...conference paper 2019

Stoev, Stanimir (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Stroosma, O. (author), Miletović, I. (author), Mulder, Max (author)The Eigenmode Distortion (EMD) analysis is a novel method for objective evaluation of simulator motion cueing fidelity, developed at Delft University of Technology. It expresses the distortions of the perceived motion cues in terms of the dynamic modes of a linear model of the vehicle and has been applied to assess rotorcraft simulations. This...conference paper 2019

Mirza, Abdullah (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, T.J. (author), Mulder, Max (author)This paper discusses an approach to convert the longitudinal dynamics of the Cessna Citation into a variable stability platform using response feedback, thereby enabling it to take different positions on the Control Anticipation Parameter (CAP) handling quality criterion. The different positions of an aircraft on the criterion reflect different...conference paper 2019

Mkhoyan, T. (author), Wentink, Mark (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author), de Graaf, B (author)When coupled with additional degrees of freedom, centrifuge-based motion platforms can combine the agility of an hexapod-basedmotion platform with the ability of sustaining higher Glevels and an extended motion space. This combination of motion characteristics is required for realistic simulation of extreme flight scenarios. However, a false and...conference paper 2019

Landman, H.M. (author), Davies, Simon (author), Groen, Eric L. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Lawson, Nicholas (author), Bronkhorst, Adelbert W. (author), Mulder, Max (author)We hypothesized that an incorrect expectation due to spatial disorientation may induce roll reversal errors. To test this, an in-flight experiment was performed, in which forty non-pilots rolled wings level after receiving motion cues. A No-leans condition (subthreshold motion to a bank angle) was included, as well as a Leans-opposite condition ...journal article 2019

Fu, W. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Most haptic interfaces developed for aircraft control provide haptic support as an additional force on the control manipulator. This study revisits the active manipulator, which is a design concept that is different from but complementary to existing haptic interfaces. This control device sends the force that the pilot exerts on it to the...journal article 2019

(author), Mulder, Max (author)Objective: This study tested whether simulator-based training of pilot responses to unexpected or novel events can be improved by including unpredictability and variability in training scenarios. Background: Current regulations allow for highly predictable and invariable training, which may not be sufficient to prepare pilots for unexpected...journal article 2018

Drop, F.M. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author), Bulthoff, Heinrich H. (author)The human controller (HC) in manual control of a dynamical system often follows a visible and predictable reference path (target). The HC can adopt a control strategy combining closed-loop feedback and an open-loop feedforward response. The effects of the target signal waveform shape and the system dynamics on the human feedforward dynamics...journal article 2018

van Baelen, D. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Current Airbus aircraft use a fly-by-wire control device: a passive spring-damper system which generates, without any force feedback, an electrical signal to the flight control computer. Additionally, a hard flight envelope protection system is used which can limit the inputs of the pilot when approaching the edges of the flight envelope. To...conference paper 2018
