Head-Up Displays: A Literature Review and Analysis with an Annotated Bibliography.
Abstract
This report is, in part, a bibliographic compilation of 293 publications relating to head-up displays (HUD's) for aircraft cockpit application and a summary of an evaluation of their contents in the areas of human factors, optical techniques, symbology, system concept, safety, simulation and flight test, and other factors or applications. The objective of this in-depth literature review is to determine the appropriate follow-up course of action in HUD's as it relates to civil aircraft application using current production HUD's. The results of a state-of-the-art HUD analysis which was also performed simultaneously is also summarized. It indicated that a HUD for the next generation can offer not only (1) resolution of illusionary problems, (2) reduction in pilot workload, (3) standardized cockpit procedures for both IFR and VFR operation, (4) reduction in intercrew dependency and coordination, but also has the potential for (5) terrain avoidance during takeoff and landing, (6) collision avoidance both in-flight and during ground operations, (7) taxi and takeoff clearance and conformation, (8) clearance delivery, (9) weather advisories, (10) efficient energy management and fuel economy, (11) noise abatement guidance, (12) prioritized annunciating and altering, and (13) pseudo-INS capability.
