Design and Use of Computer-Generated Electronic Area Navigation Map Displays: Hardware and Software Development

Abstract

The report documents hardware development of a flexible display generator and CRT including a software package to be used for the evaluation of electronic cockpit display formats as originally addressed in the Part I report, FAA-RD-72-122. The software, written for a Raytheon 704 computer enables the generation of electronic map displays that provide both area navigation and time navigation guidance. The hardware was interfaced with a Raytheon 704 computer and designed for installation into a flight simulator.
