该期刊的主要目标是出版在这个日益重要的研究领域内开发的学术论文 - 从人类操作者和居住者的角度出发，管理安全，有效的航空航天系统。几个不同的学科对其内容作出了重大贡献，使其在性质和范围上具有真正的跨学科性。这些领域包括工程和计算机科学，心理学，教育和生理学等。
The primary goal of this journal is the publication of scholarly papers developed within this increasingly important field of study--the development and management of safe, effective aerospace systems from the standpoint of the human operators and occupants. Several divergent academic disciplines contribute heavily to its contents, making it truly interdisciplinary in nature and scope. These fields include, to name a few, engineering and computer science, psychology, education, and physiology.
