Several vibrator, air jet, and moving-button tactile stimulator-units were evaluated as cuing aids for pilot training in a manual tracking task. The best units, as determined by minimum mean square error and best operator describing function were built into a flight simulator. These units were further evaluated for their ability to help pilots control the trainer in some flight-simulation tracking tasks such as altitude holding and ILS landing. A one-dimensional tactile cuing system was designed using information obtained from these experiments. The cuing system, which consisted of two vibrators attached to the arms indicating heading error in excess of five degrees, was tested in a controlled experiment with four pilots having less than 200 hours of flight time. A selected review of the literature and current research was carried out to assess the feasibility and appropriateness of biostimulation and bioelectric control for pilot training and aircraft control.
