System-Wide Safety Project
The transformation of aviation to make flight more efficient and accessible, even as the global demand for air transportation services steadily increases, will require new research tools, innovative technologies, and operational methods. Enabling this to be done safely at every step is the goal of the System-Wide Safety (SWS) project.
Captain Dan Kiggins and two of NASA's senior human factors researchers, Jon Holbrook and Lance Prinzel, discuss an increasingly autonomous future and the role humans will play in aviation safety.
Captain Dan Kiggins and NASA senior research psychologist, Steve Casner, discuss the impact distractions have on flight safety and techniques to mitigate their influence.
Captain Dan Kiggins discusses collaborative decision-making with NASA test pilots Nils Larson and Jim Less, The Cleveland Clinic’s thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Michael Tong, and Chad Stephens, a SWS project human factors researcher.
Captain Dan Kiggins is joined by Kyle Ellis and Chad Stephens from the SWS project to discuss NASA’s vision for the future of automation in aviation.
