This report describes a 12-month study effort to investigate the requirements of V/STOL control-display systems. During the evaluation phase a fixed-base, dynamic simulator was used to represent a V/STOL aircraft with four lift engines and two cruise engines. The low speed flight regimes, particularly the landing transition, received primary emphasis. Controlled experiments were conducted to evaluate four separate hover indicator concepts including horizontal situation indicator, cathode ray tube, attitude director indicator, and electroluminescent cross-grid displays. These experiments indicated that IFR approaches with V/STOL aircraft can be made safely and efficiently and that the control-display system has a significant effect of fuel consumption, landing site requirements, and pilot performance in making landing approaches. Results of Integrated Flight Control System requirements analysis are discussed and preliminary designs of flight director and autopilot systems are described. (Author)
