A reflective optical infinity display system was designed and fabricated. Special features of the display include very large plastic mirrors and a high-brightness, high-resolution television monitor. The plastic mirrors provided a large weight reduction compared to their glass equivalents and the monitor provided the very high brightness levels that this type of display requires. Size of the overall display system was largely established by the requirement that the unit be designed to operate with a C-130E simulator. (Author).

This book focuses on systems analysis, broadly defined to also include problem formulation and interpretation of proposed alternatives in terms of the value systems of stakeholders. Therefore, the book is a complement, not a substitute to other books when teaching systems engineering and systems analysis. The nature of problem solving discussed in this book is appropriate to a wide range of systems analyses. Thus the book can be used as a stand-alone book for teaching the analysis of systems. Also unique is the inclusion of broad case studies to stress problem solving issues, making How to Do Systems Analysis a complement to the many fine works in systems engineering available today.

Infinity display devices possess many desirable properties than enhance the training value of aircraft flight simulators. In the past, little has been done to apply reflective infinity display techniques to the problem of wide-angle visual simulation. This is primarily because glass mirrors were necessary to obtain the needed optical quality. These mirrors were heavy, fragile, expensive, and took a long time to manufacture. Additional support structures and control systems required by glass mirrors only added to the cost and complexity. Objectives of the nonglass infinity display research program were to study wide-angle display system concepts develop high-quality nonglass mirrors and fabrication techniques, build a prototype display system, and define cathode ray tube characteristics needed for the display. A prototype unit using nonglass mirrors was fabricated having a 120-degree horizontal field of view and a 45-degree vertical field. (Author).
