Application of AIDS to the A-7E and a Projected Future Tactical Aircraft.
Abstract
A study program to evaluate the application of the AIDS concept to the A-7E as well as a future tactical aircraft has been completed. The study evaluated the physical characteristics of the AIDS as applied to the A-7E and selected the Type 'A' V/STOL as the future tactical aircraft to evaluate physical compatibility, interface requirements, display format analysis, cockpit ambient lighting, and unique display system requirements associated with the V/STOL application. The study results reported in this document verify the feasibility of utilizing the integrated display concept in the A-7E aircraft as well as the type 'A' V/STOL. Certain physical incompatibilities were noted for the V/STOL application with regard to component sizes, and several unique display requirements are identified relative to V-mode operations. (Author)
