A study of the display/control requirements for a tactical V/STOL aircraft was conducted using analytical and simulation techniques. Workload levels were calculated by the discontinuous control analysis technique for the V/STOL crew's discrete tasks. Pilot workload levels were empirically established for level aerodynamic flight, transition to hover, hover, and landing from hover. A Scientific Data Systems 9300 hybrid computer was used to simulate the unique mission phases of a V/STOL aircraft. The STOL landing and takeoff mission phases were also simulated. Three landing display formats, two manual control modes, three thrust-to-weight ratios and three wind conditions were evaluated. A landing display format was developed that was demonstrated on the hybrid simulation to be feasible for operating a V/STOL IFR with minimum electronic aids on the ground and less than 100 percent pilot workload.
