Human pilot adaptation in simulated multiloop VTOL hovering task was investigated with series-loop-closure model; using model equations, pilot-model adaptable parameters were computed from rms hovering performance data measured in flight simulator experiments for variety of VTOL aircraft configurations; variations in aircraft configurations affected both aircraft's dynamic characteristics and its response to simulated turbulence; results of study show no specific low-frequency attitude gain requirements that must be satisfied by pilot for attitude disturbance and dynamic characteristics considered; results show that pilot preferred to adjust pitch-loop gain by changing control-stick sensitivity (aircraft gain) rather than by changing his internal gain.
