The development of the airliner structure, engines and systems, and the impact on the cockpit design are reviewed. The influence of the developments of microelectronics, digital computer technology, and display technology on the avionics design and cockpit layout of airliners such as the Airbus A-310 is discussed. An extrapolation with respect to the design of the flight deck of future airliners is given, based on developments in microwave landing systems, satellite navigation systems, all electric aircraft technology, control configured vehicle technology, data link technology, and advanced air traffic control.
