Pilots' Gaze Behavior During Simulated Helicopter Air-to-Air Refueling
Proceedings of the Vertical Flight Society 80th Annual ForumRefueling mid air is considered as important force multiplier for e.g. conducting search and rescue operations. Due to close proximity to the tanker, the refueling hose and drogue as well as the receiver can be strongly affected by the tanker's wake.

Energy & Environment, 2011
The air car has a history of development - with proponents and critics - since 1687. As the conventional internal combustion car engine is only 20% efficient, it wastes a considerable amount of energy and will not be feasible, if - for whatever reasons - fossil fuel fall short in supply and therefore, extremely expensive. The drawback of an air engine

Piloting Of Unmanned Air Vehicles
SPIE Proceedings, 1985AbstractThe use of unmanned air vehicles to perform tactical operations is an increasing factor in battlefield strategy. Such systems can inexpensively satisfy a number of military missions in highly contested senarioswithout hazard to an aircrew. Computer controlled and piloted preplanned missions can be accomplished byautonomous air vehicles. However,

Robotic Air Vehicle: A Pilot's Perspective
IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine, 1987This paper focuses on concepts and technologies required to develop a robotic air vehicle (RAV). A vehicle of this type has the capability to be a launch and forget weapon system. The authors are engineers and pilots so they view both the technical approach and piloting issues with equal importance.

Cardiovascular risk profiles in German Air Force pilots
BMJ Military Health, 2020Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in western industrial countries and one of the most frequent causes of sudden incapacitation in flight for pilots. There are limited data available on cardiovascular risk profiles of pilots, and especially military pilots.

Modeling Pilot Expertise in Air Combat
Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1992The purpose of this effort was to model expert pilot performance and decision making in one-versus-one (1v1) air-to-air combat. Several knowledge-elicitation techniques were used to extract air combat expertise from a former fighter pilot, who served as the subject-matter-expert (SME).

Gnatho-Postural Treatment in an Air Force Pilot
Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2012Due to the stresses of flight, air force pilots are more likely to experience oral parafunctions such as bruxism when compared to the general population. Further, their craniocervical mandibular system is subjected to particular stresses in the course of their duties.

Pilot Measures against Cabin Air Contamination
2021Purpose – This thesis tries to improve the situation of pilots in a Cabin Air Contamination Event (CACE) by increasing awareness through added information. Pilot activities in a CACE center around getting information about the level of contamination, applying checklists, and troubleshooting procedures, and if necessary, descending to 10000 ft ...

Physical Work Capacity of Bulgarian Air Force Pilots
Reviews on Environmental Health, 1994A thorough study was performed on physical work capacity (PWC) of 135 males from the Bulgarian Air Force, aged 18 to 59 years. VO2max was measured directly by means of maximum cycle ergometry testing. The following mean values were obtained: 2.94, 3.03, 3.18 and 2.78 l.min-1 for the age groups 18-25, 35-40, 41-50 and above 50 years, respectively.
