WHOLE PANEL STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY REPORT 1957-1958

摘要

This report contains a summation of work performed by the Whole Panel Study Group at Lear, Inc., as a part of the Air Force Control-Display Integration Program (WADC Proj¬ect 6190) during the period 1 July 1957 to 30 June 1958. The primary objective of the program was advancement of the state of the art of instrument panel and cockpit design. The cockpits were designed for classes of vehicles rather than specific Air Force weapons systems of the future. The pilot-manager concept, which was conceived during this pro¬gram is explained. Two cockpits, called the Mark II and Mark III, were delivered to the Air Force during the contract period. The instrumentation and layouts of these cockpits are described. Also presented is an enumeration of individual items studied which have been selected for further study by the Air Force and airframe manufacturers.
