“…For all of the models described here the environmental variables have been those corresponding to either fixed-base or straight-and-level flight conditions. Recently the effects of environmental characteristics on pilot describing functions have received attention elsewhere,[151- [17] so these will not be considered herein.…”

This article describes a study conducted to determine the effects of long duration, random vibration—characteristic of low-altitude high-speed (LAHS) flight aircraft—on human performance, physiological, biodynamic, and tolerance responses. Ten subjects experienced 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20 RMS g with a shaped power spectral density from 1 to 12 cps while engaging in LAHS control tasks. Simulation runs were of 5 hours duration, with the centermost 4 hours under dynamic conditions. Results of this experiment are related to those of other studies which had the same general objectives in order to provide a brief review and summary about what is known regarding human capabilities for LAHS flight.

Vibration and Human Performance

Vibration research is reviewed from the point of view of how this environmental stress affects different types of human performance capabilities. The oscillatory motions normally called vibration range from 1–30 Hz., and the motion may be either sinusoidal or random. In terms of subjective discomfort, the lowest tolerance level for vibration occurs at about 5 Hz., the frequency at which resonance of large body organs is most severe. Visual acuity is severely impaired by vibration frequencies in the range of 10–25 Hz. Manual tracking capability is most seriously affected by vibrations at 5 Hz. and below, as are other motor capacities. Tasks involving primarily central neural processes, such as reaction time, monitoring, and pattern recognition, are highly resistant to the effects of vibration.
