Fixed and rotary wing pilots alike are familiar with potential instabilities or with annoying limit
cycle oscillations that arise from the effort of controlling aircraft with high response actuation …

Understanding, predicting and supressing the inadvertent aircraft oscillations caused by
Aircraft/Rotorcraft Pilot Couplings (A/RPC) is a challenging problem for designers. These are …

This work proposes the simultaneous solution of inverse kinematics and inverse dynamics of
redundant manipulators for (nearly) real-time joint trajectory design and feedforward control …

In this article, the results of a piloted flight simulator campaign aimed at measuring
biomechanical performance indicators of a helicopter pilot performing complex, realistic …

This paper presents findings from research conducted at the University of Liverpool aimed at
optimising the motion cues available from a short-stroke hexapod motion platform. Piloted …

Collective bounce is a rotorcraft–pilot coupling phenomenon caused by vertical vibrations in
the aircraft cockpit that are transmitted to the collective lever through the torso, the left arm …

This paper discusses the aeroelastic interaction between the helicopter and the pilot called
collective bounce. The problem is mostly studied in the time domain, using the multibody …

This work presents an experimental study that investigated the possibility of destabilising a
rotorcraft by coupling the biomechanical behaviour of human subjects with the dynamics of …

A biodynamic feedthrough (BDFT) model is proposed that describes how vehicle
accelerations feed through the human body, causing involuntary limb motions and so …

Biodynamic feedthrough (BDFT) occurs when vehicle accelerations feed through the human
body and cause involuntary control inputs. This paper proposes a model to quantitatively …
