This book is the first in a series of volumes to be published in conjunction with the biennial International Symposium on Aviation Psychology (ISAP). The aim of each volume is not only to report the latest findings in aviation psychology but also to suggest new directions for ad…
The first book to cover the entire spectrum of spatial disorientation in flight. This book examines the long history of spatial disorientation in flight, describes the movements of aircraft in mathematical detail, and explains how these movements can conspire to fool human senso…
"Pilots were a major problem in aviation development. They were exposed as feeble, vulnerable, and inefficient as aircraft flew higher, faster, and farther. Pilots asphyxiated or got the bends at high altitudes; they blacked out during high-G maneuvers; they spun into the ground…
Aeromedical transportation addresses issues relevant to the special physical, physiological and psychological stresses that are important in the flight environment. The author looks at common conditions and how to deal with them.
