Major problems are faced in the aerospace industry today concerning safety in the crowded skies around airports and continuing increases in fuel prices. Lockheed-California Company in collaboration with the NASA Langley Research Center has been working on a development that tackles both of these problems - an airborne four-dimensional computer capability for the L-1011 Tristar jetliner. A trial installation plane is flying with colour electronic displays on a portion of its instrument panel to achieve these ends. The display system is intended to control flights to such a degree that arrival times can be predicted to within a matter of seconds, substantially reducing the congestion and delays of today's airways. Accurate on-board prediction of arrival times in conjunction with an en route traffic metering technique should make air traffic flow much more efficient and lead to a substantial reduction in fuel consumption.
