Abstract:

The question of symbology superimposed on an image display for low level flying is explored. Three formats of symbology superimposed on a TV image display have been developed, based on the ITED Integrated Trajectory Error Display. A helicopter performance and control model developed earlier is reviewed. A gas turbine engine model is developed, first for the ideal turbine, and then modified for a practical engine mounted in a helicopter. Three modifications of the S-ITED Superimposed Integrated Trajectory Error Display are described. These changes have been made to improve the integration of the symbology with the image display. The modified display is described in the form of a briefing for simulator test subjects.
