REVIEW OF PROJECTED DISPLAYS OF FLIGHT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Five projected displays of flight information proposed by organizations in the United States, England and Australia were reviewed and compared in respect to information content, simplicity and compatibility with the outside world. All five were shown to have associated problems of various types. A series of new displays, based on similar concepts but designed to eliminate the less desirable features of the others, were therefore proposed for simulator and flight evaluation. These new displays vary in respect to the type of flight director provided, and a complete test program was prepared to evaluate them in detail.
