Abstract:
Understanding Rotorcraft-Pilot Couplings phenomena is important for improving Human-Machine Interface design in rotorcraft. Although substantial progress has been made in the past decades, further effort is needed in enabling RPC-free or RPC-insensitive pilot-vehicle interface design. The design of an experimental testbed dedicated to investigating RPC interactions is presented, with a special focus on numerical simulation activities. The first results obtained in test campaigns involving non-skilled individuals are encouraging, showing that the testbed can enable more in-depth experimental analysis in the near future.
