Programmable Cockpit Research Simulator

Abstract

The 'Programmable Cockpit' is a low-cost facility to be used for study and development of the aircrew-vehicle interface for future aircraft systems. It was designed so that instrument layouts and display formats could be reconfigured rapidly and tested in a realistic aircraft representation or emulation, with the pilot under representative workload conditions. It is not intended to be used for pilot training and/or evaluation. It uses personal computers and computer graphics workstations linked together to represent the aircraft displays, and includes representative flight dynamic models for fixed-wing aircraft. Controls include a sidestick, rudder pedals, throttle, and touch sensitive screens. Cockpit simulators, Dynamic models, Cockpit displays, User interface, Computer graphics, Workstations.
