This book provides a detailed general overview of the human factors
and performance limitations associated with flying fast jets,
integrating all the latest available research literature on the
demanding operational tasks faced by such pilots and aircrews. As
such, it has a strong military focus, dealing with pilots of
fighter aircraft, attack aircraft and lead-in fighter trainer
aircraft that are traditionally only single or dual pilot
operations. The book deals not only with the issue of G force, but
discusses ejection and escape/survival, disorientation, high
altitude physiology, pilot training and selection, helmet-mounted
equipment, situational awareness, data fusion and multi-sensor
integration, human machine interface issues and advanced cockpit
design. It examines the human performance issues associated with
the technological advances made in fast jets, such as increased
manoeuvrability, increased use of the pilot's head as a mounting
platform for sensor and weapons systems, and the complexities
involved in the human-machine interface within these aircraft.
