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.
Download or read book Flight Test and Evaluation of a Low cost Compact and Reconfigurable Airborne Data Acquisition System Based on Commercial Off The Shelf Hardware written by Christopher George Ludwig and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digitization of physical parameters for the display and recording by computers is the essential aspect of any airborne data acquisition system. The objective of this thesis was to develop a data acquisition system for General Aviation research and certification flight testing based on a low-cost Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware, in particular, a common glass cockpit system for experimental aircraft. A kneeboard computer was used to monitor data communications between the various devices of the Grand Rapids Technology (GRT) Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS). The monitored data was then displayed for use in-flight, and recorded aboard the aircraft for post-flight data reduction. The developed system and software was tested in simulation on virtual and actual hardware, on an Extra 300 in ground testing, and in flight. An in flight air-data calibration and several common stability and control certification test points were flown to evaluate and demonstrate the usefulness of the system. Special consideration was paid to work flow prior to, during, and after the flight with the overall goal of reducing the time required for data reduction. The output of this research work includes software for decoding data files logged on one common low-cost EFIS, software for monitoring, displaying, and recording EFIS data on a kneeboard computer in-flight, and tools for managing and viewing data files after the flight. From this research work, it is concluded that commercially available EFIS systems do in fact provide a core data set which is useful in flight research and flight test certification programs. The 15 Hz sampling rate of the GRT system was more than sufficient for all the test points evaluated as a part of this research. The cost of the tested hardware was less than $10,000 at current pricing (2009). The resultant system is compact, adds little weight to a test aircraft, has few interfaces to aircraft systems, and allows for future growth and the incorporation of new sensor types and interfaces. The addition of a flight test air-data boom with angle of attack and sideslip vanes and control position and force sensors would create a very complete data acquisition package without the expense of purpose designed hardware.

Download or read book The Development and Evaluation of Color Display Systems for Airborne Applications Phase 1 Fundamental Visual Perceptual and Display System Considerations written by L. D. Silverstein and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great number of complex, interacting factors determine the effectiveness of a color display system. Many of these factors characterize visual displays in general, while others are specifically related to the production of use of color. Because it is difficult, if not unwise, to isolate and consider human visual and perceptual factors separately from color display system hardware characteristics, both operator and display system requirements must be analyzed according to common functional units. The objectives of the study were to review the current philosophy and standards on the airborne applications of electronic color display systems, develop guidelines for specifying and measuring color CRT display performance parameters, conduct a survey of currently available color systems, review and evaluate existing system capabilities, and predict future trends and applications in color display systems and componentry. Keywords: Color displays; Visual displays; Display perceptual considerations; Aircraft displays; Display systems; Color display specifications; Crew alerting; CRT displays; Human factors; Alerting systems; Electronic displays.

Download or read book Modular Multi Sensor Display System Design Study Volume I Requirements Analysis and Design Studies written by J. L. Heard and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the requirements for and the design of a Modular Multi Sensor Display System was conducted. The purpose of the study was to perform the functional design of core and special module, that, when integrated together, perform the digital scan conversion, digital symbol generation, and display functions of multiple Air Force Avionics Systems. Specifically, the requirements were derived from the avionics sensor systems aboard F-4, A-7, F-106, F-111 and B-1 type aircraft. An analysis was also performed to insure that the design was compatible with the spatial resolution, dynamic range and temporal response of the human operator. The design study resulted in the definition of 20 core modules with universal system applicability and six special modules to perform specific interface and special mode functions. The resulting design was partitioned onto both lsi modules and discrete msi printed circuit card modules. A programmable controller was designed to allow simple modification and growth for both the scan converter and symbol generator. A tradeoff analysis was conducted to compare the modular design with existing analog techniques and with a discrete digital design to meet the specific display system requirements of the A-7 aircraft. Physical characteristics, cost of ownership, reliability, and maintainability were the key factors of this tradeoff.
Download or read book Minimum Performance Standard for Airborne Multipurpose Electronic Displays written by A-4ED Electronics Display Subcommittee and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) specifies minimum performance standards for all types of Electronic Displays and Electronic Display Systems that are intended for use in the flight deck by the flightcrew in all 14 CFR Part 23, 25, 27, and 29 aircraft. The requirements and recommendations in this document are intended to apply to all installed electronic displays and electronic display systems within the flight deck, regardless of intended function, criticality, or location within the flight deck, but may also be used for non-installed electronic displays. This document provides baseline requirements and recommendations (see section 2.3 for definitions of "shall" and "should"). This document primarily addresses hardware requirements, such as electrical, mechanical, optical, and environmental. It does not address system specific functions. It does not contain an exhaustive or comprehensive list of requirements for specific systems or functions, such as TCAS, ADS-B, GPS, weather, or shared display considerations (e.g., when should alerts be inhibited on a display system that simultaneously depicts navigation data integrated with terrain data or traffic alerting). This document is intended to be used in combination with other guidance material contained in current system specific, TSOs, Advisory Circulars (ACs), and other Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-approved guidance material.The requirements and recommendations in this document are intended to apply to, but are not limited to, the following types of display functions: Primary Flight and Primary Navigation which include vertical situation, horizontal situation, and moving map displays. Systems display and displays that have alerting functions which may include engine instrument, aircraft systems information/control, pilot or flightcrew alerting, and documentation displays. Control Displays including communication, navigation and system control displays. Information Displays which may include navigation displays used for situation awareness only, supplemental data displays, and maintenance displays.Electronic Displays can include one or more of the following interconnected components. Other configurations are possible. Symbol Generator/Processor Unit (SG) containing display processing and symbol generation processing and symbol generation capability, power supplies, interface logic/buffer circuits and Display Unit interface capability. The SG receives data from external sources, produces symbols as electronic signals, and transmits the symbols to the Display Units(s). Control Panel (CP) is an optional component providing the means for manually selecting display symbology options/modes, selections, settings, brightness, etc. Display Unit (DU) providing the visual display of SG symbology.Head Up Displays are out of scope for this document. The minimum performance standards for Head Up Displays are provided in AS8055.NOTE: This document is expected to be used by the FAA as the basic requirement for a Technical Standard Order (TSO) for Multipurpose Electronic Displays. While not required, ARP1874 and ARP4067 give recommended means, but not the only means, of compliance to this standard for CRT based displays. In addition, while not required, ARP4256 gives recommended means, but not the only means, of compliance to this standard for Part 25 LCD displays. That document is subject to change to keep pace with experience and technical advances. A similar document for Part 23 aircraft does not exist at this time, however these documents may be used as the basis for electronic displays intended to be installed in Part 23, 27, and 29 aircraft, realizing that additional requirements may also apply. The original AS8034 document specified minimum performance standards for Electronic Displays which, at the time of publication, included only Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) displays. The AS8034A revision updated the minimum performance standards to include specific performance standards for Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) not covered in the originally published document. The current revision, AS8034B, contains clarification on the scope of applicable types of electronic displays, updated references as well as specific updates to the general minimum performance standards for electronic displays identified in Section 3, specific performance standards for LCDs in Section 4.5, and some clarification to CRT specific minimum performance standards in Section 4.4. This document was developed by the SAE A-4 Electronic Display committee and supersedes AS8034 and AS8034A.

Download or read book Safe Ejection Envelope Display System Development Program Phase IVA Preliminary Flight Test written by T. L. Harper and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SENDS system is designed to provide the aircrewman with a continuous indication of inflight escape capability. The concept as conceived by Vought, monitors the aircraft dynamic correlation by means of onboard sensors, provides these data to an onboard computer which computes escape capability and displays the current status in terms of time remaining to initiate an ejection and still be within the safe recovery envelope of the escape system. Preliminary flight testing has indicated that the SENDS concept is feasible for incorporation into ejection seat equipped aircraft. Evaluation of the flight test data indicates that the SENDS system performed as designed throughout the conventional flight envelope including maneuvers such as taxi, takeoff, climbout, cruise, descent, approach and landing. Data are presented for a total of 34 aircraft maneuvers. Additional software refinements are recommended to optimize the system performance during spins. It is recommended that Phase IV B and C System Design and Refinement and Phase V System Flight test be conducted.
