Recently, it has been claimed that motion sickness is due to confusion created in the central nervous system of the brain by conflicting position and motion informations arriving from visual and vestibular organs. This is one of the series of experimental studies designed to determine what are the physiological and psychological causes of motion sickness. Using a “variable stability aircraft”as a wave like heaving motion accelerator, in-flight experiments were carried out to introduce a psychological comfort characteristic curve which relates to riding qualities and motion period.“Method of Pair Comparisons”in the field of psychology were adopted to analyze the experimental data. It was found that the discomfort peak appeared near the 5 second heaving motion period.
