This research investigated the feasibility of using time compressed speech in a cockpit environment by examining the effect of cockpit noise on the intelligibility and comprehensibility of compressed speech. Research participants listened to cockpit-oriented verbal messages and were required to write them down afterwards. Results revealed a significant difference in compression levels between the environment without the ambient cockpit noise and the noise environment. The primary finding of this study was an interaction between noise and compression level. Implications of this research are made for the design of advanced crew systems.
