A low-cost display and navigation system for visual guidance information in a three-dimensional format is presented in this paper. The basic constituents of the three-dimensional display are a perspective tunnel image for showing the command flight path and a predictor for indicating the future position of the aircraft at an appropriately selected time ahead. Optionally, an image of the outside world can be displayed in an integrated form. The low-cost predictor-tunnel display is directed at an application for small aircraft in order to provide this type of vehicle with improvements for guidance and control. Manual control issues are considered with regard to the features of predictor-tunnel displays. Results from flight tests involving curved and steep approaches are presented for showing the performance of the system.
