Handbook of Aviation Human Factors, Second Edition

With more than 10 years since the publication of the first edition, this updated version of the "Handbook of Aviation Human Factors" features three additional chapters that address new areas and approaches: resilience, uninhabited aerial vehicles, and aesthetics.

A complete examination of issues and concepts relating to human factors in simulation, this book covers theory and application in space, ships, submarines, naval aviation, and commercial aviation. The authors examine issues of simulation and their effect on the validity and functionality of simulators as a training device. The chapters contain in depth discussions of these particular characteristics and issues. They also incorporate theories pertaining to the motivational aspects of training, simulation of social events, and PC based simulation.
