Aircraft-Laboratory in Aviation Medicine

A laboratory aircraft is a specially equipped aircraft that is used to study the performance of a pilot and the effects of flight on his physiological functions.

Such aircraft are equipped with various sensors and recording equipment, which allows recording flight parameters, movements of the aircraft controls and some physiological indicators of the crew members.

The most important parameters that are recorded during flight include: flight speed and altitude, overloads, pitch, roll and yaw angles, position of controls - helm, pedals, engine.

Pilots’ physiological indicators such as pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram are also recorded.

All this data is synchronized in time and subsequently analyzed. This makes it possible to assess the performance and functional state of the pilot in different flight conditions and to identify critical factors affecting his performance.

The results of research on laboratory aircraft are widely used in aviation medicine to develop methods for increasing the performance of pilots, creating optimal work and rest schedules for crews, and assessing the impact of new aircraft on the pilot’s body.

A laboratory aircraft is a special type of aircraft that is designed to conduct medical research. It is equipped with equipment that allows recording flight parameters, movements of controls, as well as physiological functions of crew members. A laboratory like this is used to study human capabilities under extreme conditions, such as flying in the sky.
