Aeromedical support of the X-15 program
Report describes the human factors or aeromedical support program for the X-15. The overall objective is to obtain quantitative physiological data and to make the pilot's actual flight task a realistic continuation of previous experience and training. During the flight phase of the X-15 aircraft, physiological data will be telemetered so that a flight surgeon observing the ground read-out can tell when the pilot is approaching the limit of his physiological tolerance.
