Ground And Flight Vibration Environment At Fuselage Station 505 In The C-2a Airplane, Christopher David Dotson
Ground And Flight Vibration Environment At Fuselage Station 505 In The C-2a Airplane, Christopher David Dotson
Masters Theses
The purpose of this test was to collect ground and flight vibration data at Fuselage Station (FS) 505 in the C-2A airplane. Collection of this data was necessary to determine operational and structural compatibility of certain navigation equipment with this vibratory environment. Vibration data were collected using triaxial accelerometers mounted to the FS 505 overhead equipment shelf and to an H-764 Embedded Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System (EGI) mounted on the shelf. A total of 0.8 hr of ground testing and 3.6 hr of flight testing was conducted at Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Patuxent River, Maryland. Testing included …

A Human Factors Comparison Of Airborne Mine Countermeasures Controls And Displays As Installed On The Cns/Atm Mh-53e Helicopter And The Legacy Mh-53e Helicopter, Jeffrey S. Farlin
Masters Theses
The United States Navy has begun an initiative to upgrade the existing MH-53E aircraft from an analogue gauge cockpit to a digital glass cockpit. In order to assess the capability of the digital cockpit to perform the Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM) mission as effectively as the analogue cockpit a human factors engineering analysis was conducted comparing the pros and cons for each cockpit. The primary focus of the paper was on the physical ergonomic characteristics of the AMCM cockpit. A limited analysis was also conducted evaluating some of the physical and mental workloads required for executing an AMCM mission. To …
