Flight Path Displays

Abstract

Aircraft display technology has advanced to the state where the flight path display--an integrated format on which both the vertical and horizontal path are graphically represented--is feasible. This report researches efforts made to design flight paths for use in both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. Results from comparison evaluations of flight path and non-flight path displays are discussed and conclusions drawn with respect to desirable display symbology. An hypothetical flight path display designed as a result of the findings in the referenced studies is proposed for future testing and evaluation.
