Description
Human Factors in Aviation, written for the widespread aviation community--engineers, scientist, pilots, managers, government
personnel, and others--is also be of interest to those in nonaviation fields. The authors/contributors were chosen not only as experts
in their fields, but because they could write for a wider audience than they customarily address. The organization of the book takes
the reader from the general to the specific, first covering broad issues, then the more specific topics of pilot performance, human factors
in aircraft design, and vehicles and systems. The physiological and medical aspects are well documented also.
Audience
Aviation professionals in military, government, private and commercial settings; graduate students and researchers in human factors psychology.
