Next generation high performance rotary wing aircraft are likely to employ Direct Voice Input (DVI) as a means of cockpit equipment control. If DVI systems are to provide benefits which justify the overheads of added weight size and cost, they must be capable of robust recognition performance throughout the aircraft's full flight envelope.
