Abstract

Results of investigations are analyzed in the field of aircraft-pilot systems, which are carried out at the MAI during last 20 years. The results include methodological support and algorithmic tools to study characteristics of pilot actions and properties of aircraft-pilot systems. Furthermore some new regularities are revealed for a pilot’s behavior in manual control tasks as well as appropriate mathematical models are developed. The methodological support is a basis for system approach to solve application problems discussed briefly in the paper. An effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated for some application problems including generating indexes to choose handling qualities of aircraft, synthesis of manual control systems, adequacy enhancement for results of aircraft handling qualities estimations by pilots in flight and ground-based simulation experiments.
