The Use of Opaque Louvres and Shields to Reduce Reflections within the Cockpit: A Trigonometrical and Plane Geometrical Approach.

摘要

Opaque shields can be used to channel light and thereby reduce reflections within the cockpit. These shielding devices range from the standard glare shield on top of the instrument panel to the more experimental use of Light Control Film and Micromesh for this purpose. Because of the need to determine the best position, width, spacing, etc. of these shielding devices, it was felt that s systematic approach would be highly desirable. This work describes a mathematical analysis to assess the applicability of those devices to resolve aircraft windscreen reflection problems.
