At Boeing and Bell Helicopter, I also helped refine control grip design for multiple aircraft platforms. These grip controls were used to interact with communications equipment, voice recognition, weapons systems as well as the primary flight controls.

Boeing developed IETMs (Interactive Electronic Technical Manual) for the Apache as well. It contains all the information a technician needs: procedures, parts information and theory information loaded on a lightweight portable computer he can take with him to the aircraft to perform maintenance.

I was asked to consult to the IETMs product team to provide proposals and insights into ways of integrating voice recognition and dedicated control keys onto the IETMs platform to allow the technician to continue to interact with the device when his/her hands were busy.
