It is argued that the barrier to single pilot operation is not the technology, but the failure to
consider the whole socio-technical system. To better understand the socio-technical system …

This book came about when there was the latest transition in office for the chair of Flight
Dynamics and Flight Guidance at our Universität der Bundeswehr München (Munich …

Soldier-robot teams will be an important component of future battle spaces, creating a
complex but potentially more survivable and effective combat force. The complexity of the …

For financial and operational reasons many aircraft manufacturers are working on the
development of single-pilot commercial aircraft. It is suggested that cargo operations may …

Commercial aviation crew sizes have historically shrunk and are only projected to shrink
down further to a one-member crew, known as single-pilot operations. Single-pilot …

Purpose–This paper aims to make a case that with the appropriate use of human factors
methods it is possible to design and develop a single crew commercial aircraft using largely …

Function Allocation methods are important for the appropriate allocation of tasks between
humans and automated systems. It is proposed that Operational Event Sequence Diagrams …

We investigate the operationalization of mental workload (MWL) for adaptive pilot support.
Common approaches have proven their benefits either for functional allocation in …

Purpose–To describe how airline operational efficiency may be improved by adopting a
socio‐technical systems approach which emphasises and integrates the role of human …

Aircraft manufacturers and avionics systems suppliers are developing technologies for
airliners that will be operated by just a single crew member. An alternative approach to using …
