As such, it has a strong military focus, dealing with pilots of fighter aircraft, attack aircraft and lead-in fighter trainer aircraft that are traditionally only single or dual pilot operations. The book deals not only with the issue of G force, but discusses ejection and escape/survival, disorientation, high altitude physiology, pilot training and selection, helmet-mounted equipment, situational awareness, data fusion and multi-sensor integration, human machine interface issues and advanced cockpit design. It examines the human performance issues associated with the technological advances made in fast jets, such as increased manoeuvrability, increased use of the pilots head as a mounting platform for sensor and weapons systems, and the complexities involved in the human-machine interface within these aircraft."--Provided by publisher.Human factors in defence.Jet planesPilotingPhysiological aspectsFighter planesPilotingPhysiological aspectsAirplanesPilotingHuman factorsElectronic books.Jet planesPilotingPhysiological aspects.Fighter planesPilotingPhysiological aspects.AirplanesPilotingHuman factors.629.132/5Newman David G.143686FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910464667203321Flying Fast Jets2072211UNINA01933oam 2200493Ia 450 991069626690332120071105112329.0(CKB)5470000002376151(OCoLC)74724389(EXLCZ)99547000000237615120061031d2006 ua 0engurmn||||m||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierGeophysical investigations of the Smoke Creek Desert and their geologic implications, northwest Nevada and northeast California[electronic resource] /by David A.
