Cockpit Displays is an in-depth examination of the design rationales, test philosophy and test procedures for cockpit systems. Whilst its main emphasis is on cockpit displays, it also includes an important discussion of flight management systems and mission computers. Areas covered include: the cockpit design process, test techniques for flight displays and equipment, and situation awareness testing. Comparing civil and military requirements, it is an important analysis of the lessons learned from test and evaluation and will be of interest to cockpit systems design engineering staff at major airframe manufacturers, procurement executives and program managers at military aircraft program offices and flight test engineers and test pilots.

Validation of a model-based methodology for the design and evaluation of advanced cockpit information-display systems is undertaken. The technique is applied to determine information and display requirements in an A10 terrain-following flying task. Four candidate display systems, including a flight director system, are proposed and rank-ordered across dimensions of workload and performance. Validation of the analytical predictions is accomplished through man-in-the-loop simulation experiments. It is concluded that the methodology, which can determine the limit information to the best quantities needed by the pilot to perform effectively, can be a valuable tool in the development of advanced cockpit information systems.

Evaluation of cockpit design is the main theme of this book. The flight deck is the ultimate human machine interface application. It uses human senses of touch and sight in a safety-critical situation. Cockpit displays and the controls are sophisticated human machine interface applications. Display systems, present at cockpits are complex environments causing excessive mental workload and the consequences of errors can be catastrophic. Human errors can only be prevented by user-friendly cockpit design. In this book, reach compatibilities to controls in the cockpit are evaluated and then suitable positions of indicators at front display panel are examined to obtain a user-friendly cockpit design. Human anthropometry is the most significant factor while evaluating cockpit reach compatibilities to controls; so all critical operational reach parameters of pilots are examined. The anthropometric study revealed vision problems and showed that the height of display panel is inappropriate for most pilots. Accordingly, suitable positions of the indicators on pedestal are evaluated and determined by using different techniques from human factors point of view.

The first three CEAS (Counsil of European Aerospace Societies) Specialist Conferences on Guidance, Navigation and Control (CEAS EuroGNC) were held in Munich, Germany in 2011, in Delft, Netherlands in 2013 and in Toulouse, France in 2017. The Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) and the Rzeszow University of Technology (RzUT) accepted the challenge of jointly organizing the 4th edition. The conference aims to promote scientific and technical excellence in the fields of Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) in aerospace and other fields of technology. The Conference joins together the industry with the academia research. This book covers four main topics: Guidance and Control, Control Theory Application, Navigation, UAV Control and Dynamic. The papers included focus on the most advanced and actual topics in guidance, navigation and control research areas: · Control theory, analysis, and design · ; Novel navigation, estimation, and tracking methods · Aircraft, spacecraft, missile and UAV guidance, navigation, and control · Flight testing and experimental results · Intelligent control in aerospace applications · Aerospace robotics and unmanned/autonomous systems · Sensor systems for guidance, navigation and control · Guidance, navigation, and control concepts in air traffic control systems For the 4th CEAS Specialist Conference on Guidance, Navigation and Control the International Technical Committee established a formal review process. Each paper was reviewed in compliance with good journal practices by independent and anonymous reviewers. At the end of the review process papers were selected for publication in this book.
