Similar to space industry, the fighter aircraft industry has to manage technology-intensive development where the end user often has implicit or explicit human factors requirements or expectations that has to be managed though design. This paper describes the specifics of the domain of fighter aircraft development with examples of what is special and design concepts to handle it. Specifically useful human factors' considerations are highlighted and recommended approaches for managing human factors in development of fighter aircraft are described.10.4018/ijatem.2011070101International Journal of Aviation Technology, Engineering and Management (IJATEM), Volume: 1, Issue: 2 (2011) Pages: 1-16Alfredson, JensAndersson, RikardAerospace EngineeringScience & EngineeringAerospace Engineering2011-07-01T04:00:00Z121162011-07-01T04:00:00ZHuman Systems Integrationhttps://www.igi-global.com/article/human-systems-integration/104511Effective Human Factors Engineering (HFE) has provided the aerospace industry with design considerations that promote aviation safety in the development of complex aircraft systems, as well as the operators and maintainers that utilize those systems. HFE is an integral aspect within the systems engineering process. Measuring the effectiveness of Human Systems Integration (HSI) in the research & development stage is critical for the design of new and modified systems. This paper focuses on the importance of design and integration in the product development stages as well as understanding the impact on the user population.10.4018/ijatem.2011070102International Journal of Aviation Technology, Engineering and Management (IJATEM), Volume: 1, Issue: 2 (2011) Pages: 17-45Sevillian, Dujuan B.Aerospace EngineeringScience & EngineeringAerospace Engineering2011-07-01T04:00:00Z1217452011-07-01T04:00:00ZNextGen Technologies Shape the Future of Aviationhttps://www.igi-global.com/article/nextgen-technologies-shape-the-future-of-aviation/104512Today, wireless technology forms the communications backbone of many industries—including aviation, transportation, government, and defense. The era of the Next Generation Air Transportation System, (NextGen), is upon us. The Federal Aviation Administration, in collaboration with industry, is deploying NextGen technology on the ground, in the air, at air traffic control facilities and in the cockpit. These new technologies in aviation represent a global, transformative change. NextGen blends new and existing technologies, including satellite navigation and digital communications, to improve safety outcomes, increase on time performance, offer reduced fuel burn and positively impact aviation's adverse environmental concerns. Significant growth in technologies like global connectivity and cloud computing over the last few years has begun to unlock potential for seamless wireless communications, improved training processes, real-time weather and navigational displays. While technology has spurred improvements in aviation, basic hands-free wireless communication between flight attendants and pilots is still viewed as inadequate by industry professionals.10.4018/ijatem.2011070103International Journal of Aviation Technology, Engineering and Management (IJATEM), Volume: 1, Issue: 2 (2011) Pages: 46-57Brown, Lori J.Aerospace EngineeringScience & EngineeringAerospace Engineering2011-07-01T04:00:00Z1246572011-07-01T04:00:00Z
