This paper presented an investigation into the effects of roll and lateral motion with agile and inert helicopter dynamics. Pilot performance and control behaviour was measured in a roll-lateral target-following disturbance-rejection control task. The experiment was performed on the MPI Motion Simulator without any motion filtering, as the simulator was capable of performing large linear motion at the pilot station. The results indicate that overall pilot performance was significantly increased by roll and lateral motion, but the increase is more significant with lateral motion. The lateral error could be minimised more effectively for the agile helicopter dynamics. This was also apparent from the disturbance and target crossover frequencies and phase margins. Pilot control activity was significantly higher for the inert helicopter dynamics, but the effect of roll and lateral motion was found to be similar for both types of helicopter dynamics. The changes in pilot performance and control activity were the result of a significant change in pilot control behaviour and indicate that in a roll-lateral helicopter control task both roll and lateral motion are important to accurately perform the task. This warrants the use of flight simulators that can accurately reproduce the large lateral motion of a helicopter.
