NW DEVICE FOR SIMPLER. FLIGHT CONTROL
London, Deo. 30 - A flight system which enables a pilot to control his aircraft more simply, safely and efficiently was demonstrated recently at the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, Hampshire.
The •Instrument has "been developed at the Establishment and is known as the ,rHead-^Jp” system. It is the development of the principle of the reflector gunsight. The essence of the system which has been successfully flight tested is that vital information from the group of cockpit instruments is superimposed in symbol form on a small instrument in front of, and at the eye level of the pilot. It shows him when to alter direction or height and warns him of the rate at which he does so, as well as indicating to him the effect of his ” stick movements” - all without him looking away from his windscreen.
The instrument, about four inches in diameter, is mounted in a box about 18 inches long and four inches wide which is attached to the cockpit in front of the pilot.
Also demonstrated was a new visual flight simulator which has been extensively used in developing the ”Head-Up” system. The chief feature of the simulator is the provision of an artificial picture representing forward view during the flight. Senior pilots of world airlines and aircraft manufacturers are to be invited t*> try out the new system. - L.P.S. r -----------------------------------o ~-------
