The problems of modern and perspective ergonomic helicopters’ design providing system’s "crew-helicopter-environment” reliable functioning are considered. It is shown that the practice’s requirements require increasing helicopters’ capacity and expanding the boundaries of their operation. The new developments’ forecast in the copyright patents’ implementation using ergonomic technologies are effected.

The subject of research is establishing psychophysiological regularities of technical (instrumental) means for representing the out-of-cockpit space and objects for solving the problems of piloting and spatial orientation used by flight personnel. In flight tests carried out on helicopters equipped with optical-television and thermal television systems, scientific data are obtained, indicating the regulatory influence of pilots’ spatial orientation image on the piloting efficiency and safety. The psychophysiological possibilities and limitations of using technical vision aids are established, and ergonomic requirements for their technical characteristics are formed. The research results provided the basis for making technical specifications for helicopters of a new generation, and can be useful in designing the information field of aircraft for various purposes.
