AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENT PANEL PLACEMENT

Abstract

The placement of the aircraft instrument panel has been governed by the 1947 recommendations of the Armed Forces-NRC Vision Committee. This distance, 28 inches from eye to panel, is not always compatible with present-day aircraft designs. A criterion for determining the placement of the instrument panel is developed and the maximum allowable eye-to-panel distance is given in this paper.
