New integrated back-up flight data display in gripen

摘要

The Saab-BAe multi-role fighter aircraft Gripen has a continuos development program to incorporate new technology. Current important cockpit changes are the replacement of the three 5"x6" monochrome CRT displays by three 6"x8" Color Multi-Function Displays (CMFD), and the removal of the trditional and dedicated standby flight instruments. The CMFDs are equipped with built-in graphics generators. The display surfaces are supplied with flight data from two parallel and independent flight data systems, one primary (normal) and one secondary (back-up). All CMFDs have the ability to be switched over to display of back-up flight data.
