The main design is outlined for the cockpit of the Experimental Aircraft Program (EAP) aircraft. The structured design process that was followed is described. The main features of the resulting cockpit are outlined, together with some of the rationale behind their design. These include: (1) Display moding: how the format hierarchy is managed, how the formats were constructed and how color has been used on the displays; (2) The hands on throttle and stick concept and how this applies to the EAP; (3) A manual data entry facility capable of controlling ten different subsystems through totally multifunction devices; and (4) An intelligent warning system based on the use of a digitized voice. These facilities have been flying for over a year now and the experience gained during their design and subsequent flight testing is helping to form the basis for the European Fighter Aircraft cockpit design.
