Nine principles concerning effects of acceleration on human performance are derived from centrifuge experiments in which pilots were exposed to acceleration environments designed to simulate 3 proposed space vehicles; principles deal with performance tolerance, practice effects, restraint system, individual differences, control system and feedback, task difficulty level, display characteristics, and higher mental processes.
