Eigenmode Distortion Analysis for Motion Cueing Evaluation in Fixed-Wing Aircraft Simulators

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...

Human pilot describing function, remnant and associated information for pitch attitude control: in flight and ground-based tracking experiments

Servo-analysis techniques, using mathematical models of human control behaviour, are effectively used in studies of the system formed by the human pilot and the flight control system/aircraft combination. Measurement and data analysis techniques for the determination of pilot describing function, remnant and associated information needed in...
