Extract

Recent work on the Head-Up Display (HUD) has shown properties of continuous transition, easy learning and accurate use, when certain design principles are followed. Use of HUD in manual landing has suggested application as a monitor for automatic landing and another use is for the directed take-off.

Developments in display techniques have led to a proposal for an electronic flight instrument display (EFID), suitable for head-down, as well as head-up presentation. Economy in presentation area may result from compressing a number of displays into a single format, and from using the same area for a number of displays presented in sequence.

Similar flexible techniques applied to the topographical map display suggest a general-purpose plan position display, complementing the “front elevation” display of flight instruments. These ideas are combined in a proposal for an advanced cockpit layout.
