Abstract

This research was initiated to compare the visual performance/workload of pilots during fixed wing and rotary wing flights. The corneal reflection technique was used to obtain the visual data. The results demonstrate that visual performance/workload of the pilots was different for each aircraft. Because the major difference between the aircraft was the aerodynamic stability, it was assumed that the visual workload was in fact a function of aircraft stability. The overall purpose of such research has been to provide information concerning pilots' visual requirements for safe mission accomplishment.
