Nowadays glass cockpits for commercial aircraft usually feature six display units. When one or two units are lost due to failures, continued safe flight is guaranteed using the remaining units. In this article a cockpit concept is proposed with only three display units, and at least the same safety level. This three large LCD cockpit can reduce costs for the airlines, while at the same time providing built-in growth potential for emerging functions. Innovative display technology based upon the "fail safe concept" and a reconfigurable interface between pilots and the avionics system allow these seemingly incompatible goals
