The Human Factor in the Aircraft of the 6th Generation: Problems Technosymbiosis

The article is devoted to the problem of technosymbiosis in the aircraft of the 6th generation. We discussed the actual engineering and psychological problems arising in the process of thematic development of aviation equipment of high degree of automation. We explain and criticize the basic concepts of thematic and engineering-psychological design that implement the principle of human inclusion to artificial interfaces and environments. The concept of "multiplication of possibilities" and a symbiotic approach to the integration of the pilot and the aircraft, according to which the integration of the pilot (crew) with the aircraft is of a symbiotic nature, which results in a new techno-biotic self-organizing unity, behaving as a combat unit, focused on achieving decisive superiority over the enemy. We have shown that the problem of technosymbiosis closely connected with the solution of the problem of design of interfaces. Further increase in the degree of integration of the pilot with the interface environment involves going beyond the classical physical and physical-algorithmic interactions. We discuss the problems of trainings system used for pilots training and increasing integration with the control systems of the aircraft. The directions and technologies of technological integration associated with the possibility of implementing the methodology of "multiplication of opportunities" in the design of aviation systems of high degree of automation.
