A PROGRAM OF HUMAN ENGINEERING RESEARCH ON THE DESIGN OF AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENT DISPLAYS AND CONTROLS

摘要

This report outlines a program for research on the human factors in the design of aircraft instrument displays and controls. The effort is intended as a source for the Air Force Integrated Display - Integrated Control Program. It consists of three major approaches. One of these concerns the development of a cockpit for a particular airplane or type of airplane. Another consists in the development of principles of man-machine relations applicable to many types of aircraft. The third approach is that of working with formal concep¬tual systems which may have some promise of general applicability to the cock¬pit problems.
