Simulating Unpowered Helicopter Landings

Abstract

Report presents results of experiment with visual, aural, and motion cues in simulations of helicopter landings without engine power. Helicopter simulators do not offer realistic environment, particularly in sensory cues for near-ground, low-speed flight. Evaluated importance of various cues in difficult autorotation. Conducted in vertical-motion simulator with experienced pilots as subjects.
