Results are presented from a flight test of experimental control/display systems for the U.S. Army/NASA CH-47B variable-stability research helicopter in hovering maneuvers, supplementing the preliminary report of Eshow et al. (1987). The display format was a simplified version of the pilot night-vision system for the Apache AH-64, and the tests measured pilot performance in hover-pad capture and hover-pad tracking tasks (under simulated zero visibility) using displays based on (1) gainlike and (2) integratorlike controlled-element responses to control inputs. The implementation of the vehicle-response dynamics through an explicit model-following control system and the derivation of the display laws are described, and the test results are presented in extensive tables and graphs. Display type (1) was found to be preferred by the pilots and to give generally better performance than type (2).
