Best Practices for Evaluating Flight Deck Interfaces for Transport Category Aircraft with Particular Relevance to Issues of Attention, Awareness, and Understanding CAST SE-210 Output 2 Report 6 of 6

Attention, awareness, and understanding of the flight crew are a critical contributor to safety and the flight deck plays a critical role in supporting these cognitive functions. Changes to the flight deck need to be evaluated for whether the changed device provides adequate support for these functions. This report describes a set of diverse evaluation methods. The report recommends designing the interface-evaluation to span the phases of the device development, from early to late, and it provides methods appropriate at each phase. It describes the various ways in which an interface or interface component can fail to support awareness as potential issues to be assessed in evaluation. It summarizes appropriate methods to evaluate different issues concerning inadequate support for these functions, throughout the phases of development.

Factors that Influenced Airplane State Awareness Accidents and Incidents: CAST SE-210 Output 2: Report 2 of 6

This report is part of a series of reports that address flight deck design and evaluation, written as a response to loss of control accidents. In particular, this activity is directed at failures in airplane state awareness in which the pilot loses awareness of the airplane’s energy state or attitude and enters an upset condition. The Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) created a team to analyze a set of incidents and accidents associated with the flight crew’s loss of awareness of aircraft attitude or energy state. The CAST activity focused on a set of 18 loss of control (LOC) accidents and incidents. In those events, the pilot seemed to lose awareness of the state of the airplane, especially related to its energy state or its attitude. To understand the roots of that loss of awareness, we analyzed the events in relation to a set of factors that were present in many of them. We show how these factors contributed to lost awareness. Then, we use that understanding to identify potentially useful changes to the flight deck interface and how those flight deck changes could be evaluated.

Evaluation Issues for a Flight Deck Interface; CAST SE-210 Output 2: Report 4 of 6

This report is part of a series of reports that addresses flight deck design and evaluation, written as a response to loss of control accidents. In particular, this activity is directed at failures in airplane state awareness, in which the pilot loses awareness of the airplane’s energy state or attitude and enters an upset condition. Another report in this series of reports speaks directly to flight deck evaluation methods and metrics for the types of attention and awareness issues that were revealed from the airplane state awareness events. In this report, we describe a wide range of flight deck evaluation issues tied to flight crew performance. The objectives are to establish a framework for thinking about how the flight deck interface should support the performance of the flight crew, and to aid the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in identifying relevant human performance issues during the evaluation/certification process. Issues are broken out into sections that cover physical ergonomics, design for usability, data integration and display content, attention and task management, flight crew problem solving, and flight crew teaming. For each issue, we recommend specific ways that the flight deck interface should support the flight crew. For each, we also identify existing 14 CFR Part 25 rules and guidance that are relevant to the issue. This allows the FAA to determine what current regulatory materials can support them in raising the issue with the applicant.

Mixed-Domain Charge Transport in S-Se Alloys as a Li-S Battery Cathode Material

Lithium-sulfur batteries are emerging candidate systems for the next-generation long-range electric aircraft application owing to their potential to deliver high energy density per weight. Their cathodes are to be made primarily with sulfur, but sulfur by itself has much too low electron conductivity to serve as a useful cathode. An idea that has been suggested to overcome this bottleneck is to alloy sulfur with selenium in the hope that electron mobility, which is thought to improve charge transport at some expense of increased weight and reduced energy density. However, understanding of these alloy structures and their transport mechanism is insufficient, and electron mobility at varying degrees of selenium content is not well charted, which are critical for determining the optimum selenium content and testing whether this strategy is generally feasible. The difficulty of computationally characterizing these alloy systems is rooted in the structure. The structures of both sulfur and selenium exhibit eight-atom rings that pack together in various orientations to form their respective crystals. For one, because these crystals (and presumably their alloys as well) feature multiple polymorphs such that their structural coherence is rather unclear. Secondly, these are also relatively large systems (32 atoms per cell) with low-symmetry, which complicate computation both in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Thirdly, such semi-molecular, semi-crystalline structures lead to a combination of band-transport characteristics and hopping-transport characteristics, each of which is a domain with its own physics and set of computational, theoretical challenges. In addition, there is a general dearth of experimental transport data for sulfur-selenium alloys. In this study, we make a comprehensive attempt to tackle this problem using a wide array of first-principles methods. We generate special quasirandom structures to simulate alloy structures, and compute their first-principles Raman spectra for comparison with experimental data to ensure their structural soundness. We then proceed to use recently developed, state-of-the-art tool (AMSET) in order to efficiently compute electronic mobilities under band transport of pure sulfur, pure selenium, as well as their alloys of various compositions at a reasonable accuracy. We then sample numerous dimer configurations of nearest-neighbor eight-atom-ring-pairs and compute electronic hopping rates between them, which yields hopping mobility. A combination of these efforts lead to a general mapping of electron transport behaviors throughout the alloy range. Preliminary results show that introduction of selenium into sulfur initially damages electron mobility due to disorder but eventually improves it beyond that of pure sulfur with additional selenium content, ultimately peaking at the pure-selenium limit. Band transport dominates for holes in sulfur and electrons in selenium, but in all other cases, hopping transport is dominant. Ongoing efforts include determination of charge concentration and conductivity, as well as performing multiphysics modeling to determine the optimum selenium content for best tradeoff between conductivity and energy density for aircraft range.

Open-source Wireless Sensor Network (Wi-Se Net) for Flexible Deployment

Wireless sensors, especially if battery powered, have a number of advantages over wired sensors for flexible or temporary diagnostic deployment in a field or lab setting. Recent advances in wireless technology and microprocessor boards have produced a variety of inexpensive off-the shelf chips which can communicate wirelessly with simple protocols. This paper describes the design and implementation of a highly customizable wireless sensor network (called WiSe Net) using inexpensive open-source hardware components as wireless nodes. These wireless sensor nodes can transmit data at a rate <250 Hz, can be battery powered, and have a small footprint (2x5 cm). In addition, a preliminary over-the-air programming system was developed to allow for simple wireless configuration when active. The network performance was demonstrated by taking distributed and electrically isolated temperature measurements on a high-voltage lab apparatus. Although this test case is in a laboratory setting, this network architecture could be easily repurposed for various other forms of monitoring

Autonomous Constrained Control for Arbitrary Configurations of Gimbaling Thrusters in SE(3)

In order to develop robust autonomy in spacecraft, it is desirable to develop methods for controlling a spacecraft in various configurations with any combination of thrusters of various types and both for static RCS thrusters and gimbaling thrusters. In the case of a stuck thruster imposing unplanned and undesired motion both translational and rotational or in the case of a malfunctioning thruster, it is desirable for that spacecraft to have the ability to identify and overcome that problem without human intervention. To that end, a spacecraft must be able to rapidly and autonomously reconfigure thruster firing histories and update guidance protocols. In this paper, a method for a spacecraft to autonomously select thrusters of any configuration is presented. The residual motion imposed by off-nominal or not-fully-controllable thruster configurations is identified by the spacecraft and solved for, both for static reaction control systems and gimbaling engines.
