The energy expenditure of Army Air Corps and Royal Air Force pilots has been measured during flight in Gazelle and Puma helicopters respectively. Heart rates were also recorded. The results were compared with resting values obtained in the crewroom before flight, and confirmed the findings of other authors that the energy cost of flying helicopters in level flight is about 50% higher than that of sitting at rest.
陆军航空兵和皇家空军飞行员在分别驾驶瞪羚直升机和美洲狮直升机飞行期间的能量消耗已被测量。心率也被记录下来。结果与飞行前在机组人员休息室测得的静息值进行了比较，证实了其他作者的研究结果，即直升机平飞时的能量消耗比静坐在休息时高出约50%。
