Grounded pilots search for key to safety in the clouds
A $300,000 helicopter simulator is the star attraction at a groundbreaking aviation research laboratory at Swinburne University of Technology, set up to study human failings in flight in a quest to find ways to make flying safer.

Understanding motion sickness
If you are one of the many people who suffer from motion sickness, take heart. Swinburne aviation medicine specialist Dr David Newman says understanding the cause can help people manage and even avoid attacks of nausea during travel.

Why do we get motion sickness?
The act of travelling can be debilitating. For some, motion sickness is enough to turn a trip into a nightmare.
