A Systems Approach for Crew Station Design and Evaluation

Abstract

This report documents the development and current status of the Crew Systems Development Branch's (AFWAL/FIGR) methodology for designing and evaluating crew stations for new Air Force aircraft. The report begins with a historical background for the problem area, and then overviews the methodology as employed today. This is followed by a detailed discussion of each of the major stages of the process. The report concludes with a discussion of resources typically involved in cockpit design efforts and a section on crew system testing and evaluation. Also included is a 300 item Bibliography, sampling the more than 10,000 relevant articles, reports and test documentation found in AFWAL/FIGR's Control Display Information Center (CDIC).
