Advanced flight simulation facilities are being developed to study the evolving pilot role and new cockpit technologies. These simulators will evaluate future flight station concepts in a realistic environment.

Area of Science:

  • Aviation Human Factors
  • Aerospace Engineering
  • Flight Simulation Technology

Background:

  • The pilot's role and tools are rapidly evolving due to new technologies like airborne computing, flight automation, and data transfer.
  • By 1995, significant changes in the pilot's tasks and the equipment used are anticipated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide knowledge and direction for the evolution of the pilot's role and cockpit technology.
  • To establish advanced simulation facilities for studying future flight station concepts.

Main Methods:

  • Development of three identical Advanced Concepts Flight Simulation Facilities by NASA and Lockheed-Georgia Company.
  • Incorporation of advanced features such as touch-screen/voice-operated CRT displays, digital clearances, cockpit traffic displays, and comprehensive databases.
