Barron Associates Selected by NASA to Develop Technology that Visually Guides Pilots Through Recovery from Aircraft Upset Situations

Barron Associates Upset Recovery Teams, led by Dr. Nathan Richards, has been selected for award by NASA.  This program will provide pilots with visual guidance to assist in recovery from aircraft upset condition including situations of vehicle failure/impairment. The approach also explicitly considers the wide range of pilot dynamic behavior and the impact the variation may have on the pilot-in-the-loop upset recovery performance.  The research plan includes piloted simulator testing and ultimately flight testing of the visual recovery guidance cues.
