    • Development and Evaluation of an Electronic Vertical Situation Display 

      Vakil, Sanjay S.; Midkiff, Alan H.; Hansman, R. John (International Center for Air Transportation, 1996-06)
      Current advanced commercial transport aircraft, such as the Boeing B777/B747-400, the Airbus A320/A340 and the McDonnell Douglas MD-11, rely on AutoFlight Systems (AFS) for flight management, navigation and inner loop ...

    • Experimental Study of Vertical Flight Path Mode Awareness 

      Johnson, Eric N.; Pritchett, Amy R. (International Center for Air Transportation, 1995-03)
      An experimental simulator study was run to test pilot detection of an error in autopilot mode selection. Active airline air crew were asked to fly landing approaches by commanding the Flight Path Angle mode while monitoring ...

    • Development of a Piezoelectric Servo-Flap Actuator for Helicopter Rotor Control 

      Prechtl, Eric Frederick (International Center for Air Transportation, 1994-04-24)
      An actuator using a piezoelectric bender to de ect a trailing edge servo- ap for use on a helicopter rotor blade was designed, built, and tested. This actuator is an improvement over one developed previously at MIT. ...
