The members of AGARD FMP Working Group 21, representing aircraft manufacturers, research institutions and operational organizations, met over a two year period, 1993-1995 to address the following objective: Summarize the status of current cockpits, highlight their benefits and weaknesses, and provide guidance for future cockpit design. This report, the result of those meetings, is structured around the series of questions listed below: (1) What are the pilot and crew required to do to complete a mission successfully; (2a) What do the current glass cockpits consist of; (2b) What are some of the technological highlights and trends of these cockpits; (3) What new technologies are becoming available; (4) How can we tailor the cockpit to be the most suitable for the human operator; (5) How can and how does the use of glass cockpits change the required aircrew training process; (6) What are the key problem issues with the current design process and what suggestions can be made to improve it and; (7) What are the cockpit concepts being considered to improve the operational effectiveness of future aircraft. With consideration of the human factors issues in design as a major basis for this report, this document provides an in depth discussion of the cockpit of today's aircraft and can serve as a foundation upon which to develop a more optimized pilot-vehicle-system interface of tomorrow.
