ISBN: 1351950835
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
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.

Evaluating the Spatial Resolution of Flight-Simulator Visual Displays
Author: Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 41
Book Description
This paper documents a technique for assessing the spatial resolution of visual display systems like those currently used for flight simulation at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Mesa, Arizona. The introduction defines spatial resolution, and how best to apply the concept in the context of visual display evaluation. The measurement technique is described in detail, as are the CCD-based light measurement device and the techniques developed to calibrate it. Typical spatial resolution data are presented for a variety of display systems. The various steps required for data analysis, and suggested methods for implementing these steps using standard applications programs are presented. The computer programs used to generate and display the test patterns and to estimate spatial resolution are described and are available from Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC).

Pages : 34
Book Description
The results of a flight evaluation of two electronic display formats for the approach to landing under instrument conditions are presented. The evaluation was conducted for a base-line electronic display format and for the same format with runway symbology and track information added. The evaluation was conducted during 3 deg, manual straight-in approaches with and without initial localizer offsets. Flight path tracking performance data and pilot subjective comments were examined with regard to the pilot's ability to capture and maintain localizer and glide slope by using both display formats.

ISBN: 1613531761
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1041
Book Description
This text and practical reference for all personnel involved in avionics and weapons system evaluation and testing, in the air and on the ground. Compiled from 25 years of experience and methods from the National Test Pilot School in Mojave, California, this book has been reviewed by a dozen voluntary experts from the military and industry to ensure all critical components are properly covered. It includes "war stories" from actual evaluations and exercises at the end of each chapter, providing instructors with the ability to reinforce critical concepts. This second edition has been updated and expanded by three chapters to include UAV technology, operational test and evaluation and night vision systems and helmet mounted displays and the chapter exercises have also been expanded and revised.
