| Abstract: | The document presents an innovative type of sensor that can be used to measure forces on aircraft control inceptors. The measures can be applied both to in-flight and on simulators and allow for measure not only the total force applied on the inceptor’s grip but also their distribution over the inceptor grip without altering the ergonomics of the input device. The sensor aims also to provide a reliable way to quantify the workload to which a pilot is subjected during specific mission task elements. The sensor working principle is based on an optical measure making it not sensible to typical temperature-drift problems that affect classical electro-mechanical systems. A prototype of the sensor embedded in the yoke of an aircraft flight simulator has been designed, built, and tested. The results of an experiment involving several experienced pilots to assess the workload will be reported. |
