Investigation of outside visual cues required for low speed and hoverKnowledge of the visual cues required in the performance of stabilized hover in VTOL aircraft is a prerequisite for the development of both cockpit displays and ground-based simulation systems. Attention is presently given to the viability of experimental test flight techniques as the bases for the identification of essential external cues in aggressive and precise low speed and hovering tasks. The analysis and flight test program conducted employed a helicopter and a pilot wearing lenses that could be electronically fogged, where the primary variables were field-of-view, large object 'macrotexture', and fine detail 'microtexture', in six different fields-of-view. Fundamental metrics are proposed for the quantification of the visual field, to allow comparisons between tests, simulations, and aircraft displays.
