In silico vs. Over the Clouds: On-the-Fly Mental State Estimation of Aircraft Pilots, Using a Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy Based Passive-BCI by Thibault Gateau, Hasan Ayaz, Frédéric Dehais

“…The objective of this study was to implement an on-line passive fNIRS-based brain computer interface to discriminate two levels of working memory load during highly ecological aircraft piloting tasks. Twenty eight recruited pilots were equally split into two groups (flight simulator vs. real aircraft). …”

Forest Restoration Monitoring Protocol with a Low-Cost Remotely Piloted Aircraft: Lessons Learned from a Case Study in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest by Rafael Walter Albuquerque, Manuel Eduardo Ferreira, Søren Ingvor Olsen, Julio Ricardo Caetano Tymus, Cintia Palheta Balieiro, Hendrik Mansur, Ciro José Ribeiro Moura, João Vitor Silva Costa, Maurício Ruiz Castello Branco, Carlos Henrique Grohmann

“…Traditional forest restoration (FR) monitoring methods employ spreadsheets and photos taken at the ground level. Since remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) generate a panoramic high resolution and georeferenced view of the entire area of interest, this technology has high potential to improve the traditional FR monitoring methods. …”

Aircraft Wing Design Technologies / by Rouse, Susannah, author 646394

“…With ailerons in the neutral position the wing on the outside of the turn develops more lift than the opposite wing due to the variation in airspeed across the wing span, and this tends to cause the aircraft to continue to roll. Once the desired angle of bank (degree of rotation on the longitudinal axis) is obtained, the pilot uses opposite aileron to prevent the angle of bank from increasing due to this variation in lift across the wing span. …”
