Advances in aircraft technology have allowed the construction of fighters which can easily exceed the pilot's capability to react and to sustain G forces. Advances in avionics have allowed these airframes to be fitted with sensors, weapons, and data processors to the point that the workload associated with mission accomplishment sometimes exceeds the pilot's capabilities. Consequently, some aircraft capabilities are rarely used due to lack of familiarity. These developments highlight the fact that the ability of the aircraft to fulfill its mission is dependent upon the pilot's utilizing its capabilities as an integrated weapon system. Pilots, like airframes, have operational envelopes and expanding the pilot's envelope allows fuller exploitation of the airframe's envelope and the avionics capabilities. The nature of the pilot's envelope is presented along with attributes of a pilot interface which support expansion of the pilot's envelope.
