Abstract	An overview of recent research conducted in the Division of Aeronautical Science and Engineering at UC Davis was presented. Five topics describing ongoing or recently completed research studies were described. The first involved the design and construction UAV at UC Davis. The vehicle is intended for use by University of California campuses for research in remote sensing. The second project focused upon a sliding mode control design for a nonlinear model of a ducted fan organic air vehicle. The third project dealt with development of simplified pursuit models of the human pilot in multi-axis tasks in which the pilot model could be created using computer simulation time histories of the (possibly nonlinear) vehicle model. A project entitled Operational Based Visual Assessment (OBVA) was described next. This project has a goal of bridging the gap between clinical assessment of the human pilot’s visual capabilities and pilot performance. The presentation closed with a brief discussion of one result from a NASA Langley piloted simulation study of transport aircraft rudder pedal force/feel systems.
