Cockpit Visibility and Contrail Detection
通过屋顶和实验室实验，研究了飞机驾驶舱窗柱宽度对眼睛调节和模拟凝结尾迹检测的影响，发现较宽的窗柱会显著降低单眼可见区域内凝结尾迹的检测概率。
A series of rooftop and laboratory experiments was conducted to investigate the effects of aircraft cockpit window posts on eye accommodation and the detection of simulated contrails. A window post equal in width to the interocular distance of 6.35 cm and one approximately 5 cm wider had comparable effects on accommodation, pulling focus inward from its empty-field resting distance in each case. However, the wider post seriously derogated the probability of detecting portions of contrails that appeared in the sectors of monocular visibility on either side, relative to the near-perfect single-look detectability with the nominal standard post width.
