The state of the of art in flight control systems geared toward dual-pilot helicopters is the use of active inceptor systems to replace the traditional mechanical linkage between pilot and copilot inceptors. This work investigates the introduction of priority functions, which act to actively decouple inceptors in one control station. This approach has the potential to assist pilots to take over control in low-level flight and aid to mitigate loss-of-control accidents that occur in such conditions. Takeover control maneuvers are tested in a dual-pilot helicopter simulation environment to evaluate two inceptor decoupling methods, namely a priority pushbutton (manual) and a priority force threshold (automatic). Results indicate that the takeover maneuvers were successfully performed in low-level flight without over control (inaccurate control inputs) when using both priority functions. The priority functions led to a workload reduction when compared to a benchmark configuration without inceptor decoupling. Positive ratings in usefulness and satisfaction scales indicate pilot acceptance of the priority functions tested.

Economic development is a priority in the management of any state. The article attempts to consider the impact of design on the economic condition of the country. Additionally, the connection of the country's economy, the development of design and its support from the state is analyzed. Design as a factor in the development of the country's economy is a single system, which implies a whole thread of events. In modern society, in the conditions of the paramount importance of technology in the life of every person, more than ever, it becomes important to have things convenient and practical in use. Today, the design is a strategic tool, the correct use of which leads to success in business. The relevance of the study is caused by a very low level of research on the development aspect of the country's economy - design.

In this study we contrast display-control movement relations defined in terms of stimulus-response (physical) compatibility with those defined by stimulus-cognitive compatibility, and we relate these findings to the issue of command versus status levels of decision aid support. A second issue addressed is the cost of inconsistency across multiple display-control mappings. Subjects performed a flight control task while responding to one to four analog indicators, formatted as either command or status displays. The results suggest that there is an advantage for the status format when subjects are required to verbally report the state of the indicator(s), but no advantage was found for either format when subjects were required to manually correct the indicated state. The data point to the importance of display-control consistency and suggest that it may even outweigh that of compatibility.

This report shows the execution and evolution of airplane flight control systems. The report describes the development of airplane flight control systems and gives a survey of the principal phases of the flight control systems that assure the finding and execution of the fly-by-wire system. The development of flight control systems, from human control with mechanical links to a wire-driven computer, is a remarkable representation of the development of aeronautical technologies. The fly-by-wire system constitutes a fast-forwarding in aircraft design, from mechanical linkage to large hydraulic actuators to computer-assisted fly-by-wire system. The use of the fly-by-wire system has generated huge satisfaction for the aircraft industry by lessening the weight of the flight control system, by creating multiple redundancy flight control systems, which increases the flight safety of all aircraft equipped with the fly-by-wire system. The passage from analog to digital is another fast-forwarding in the development of fly-by-wire systems.

This study raises the issue of agrarian reform draft under the reign of President Joko Widodo. Agrarian reform became a priority program in the RPJMN of 2015-2019. Based on this matter, the writer analyzes the concept of agrarian reform during the reign of Joko Widodo terms of BAL. The nature of the study was a normative research with statute approach, which was done in four ways, namely descriptive, comparative, evaluative and argumentative. The results showed that the agrarian reform draft during the reign of Joko Widodo is a concept of land stewardship and land reform. The economic system leads to a form of capitalism. It is necessary to conduct refinement of content and material of BAL implementation in order to achieve the justice and the welfare of the nation and the State. The agrarian reform program should be carried out in stages in order to obtain the desired results. It requires the will, ability and active involvement of all elements of the state.
