“…The authors designed and tested active pedals and a stick in response to the high demands on visual modality. The hardware, as shown in Figure 2, was designed to convey AoA and AoS to a pilot through haptic feedback [4]. The test confirmed the readability of the haptic cues, including the vibrations in the pedals and the sliding element in the control stick in flight conditions.…”

This paper presents a comprehensive review of haptic feedback in light aircraft control. It provides an overview of the results and experiences gained from a previous research project focused on the design and testing of pilot haptic feedback hardware. The objective of this paper is to outline a roadmap for the future development of “More Haptic Aircraft,” incorporating principles of human-centred design into light aircraft cockpits equipped with the presented haptic feedback device. The roadmap provides general requirements for pilot-aircraft interaction and highlights three specific levels of functions. These functions aim to reduce the pilot’s workload and enhance situational awareness.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to lead to an improvement in pilot-aircraft interaction. The goal of the performed tests is an assessment of haptic feedback, which mediates flight parameters to the pilot. Pedals indicate side-slip angle by vibrations, whereas a sliding element inside the control stick is able to continuously indicate both angles of attack and side-slip. Design/methodology/approach Haptic feedback applied on rudder pedals and control stick were tested on a flight simulator and flight tests in a couple of tasks. Pilot workload, readability of feedback and side-slip were then evaluated when the flight was turning. Findings As a useful instrument for aircraft control, haptic feedback was assessed. The feedback settings were then individually perceived, and haptic feedback slightly improved side-slip while turning in a flight test; however, the results are not statistically significant. Practical implications The tests provided promising results for human pilot performance. The training phase and personal settings of haptic feedback is an approach for improving the performance of human pilots. Originality/value The designed and tested device is a unique tool for improving pilot-aircraft interaction. This study brings valuable experiences from its flight simulator and in-flight tests.
