Abstract
The purpose of investigating the problem presented in
this thesis is to provide a method for predicting the reaction
time of a human pilot when presented the problem of
controlling an aircraft subjected to disturbances in pitch;
and to develop an approximate transfer function describing
the pilot's reactions.
Due to the great many variables involved as well as
the virtual impossibility of complete ground simulation of
airplane flight characteristics certain simplifying assumptions
must be made. The results presented in this thesis,
are then, probably most useful in obtaining pre-flight
test information of pilot-airplane response characteristics.
