Flight Guidance Concepts to Mitigate Flight Control System Degradation in Urban Air Mobility Scenarios
tracking display and were not distracted by other
eyes-out visual cues available on the HMD system.
It is likely that the symbology of the HMD may also
have contributed to poorer tracking performance.
3) All pilots were able to reach a close vicinity of the
final waypoint indicating that the guidance law and
human performance were sufficiently robust to
input disturbance signals.
Further research is necessary to develop and optimize an
eyes-out display concept so as to simplify piloting tasks for
both normal and emergency procedures in UAMoperations.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The authors wish to dedicate this article to thememory oftheir
former colleague, late Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Heller (1966-
2020), an excellent researcher, an inspirational teacher, and a
wonderful human being. The authors gratefully acknowledge
his support and encouragement during the initial phase ofthis
work. The work reported in this article was funded by the
Institute ofHelicopter Technology at the Technical University
ofMunich and supported by the University ofZagreb.
The authors would like to thank to all participants from
both institutions in the human-in-the-loop simulation
experiments. This work involved human subjects in its
research. Approval of all ethical and experimental procedures
and protocols was granted by the Ethics Commision
ofthe Technical University ofMunich.
