MULTI-DIMENSIONAL UNI-VECTORED FLIGHT DISPLAY FOR AIRCRAFT

摘要

An aircraft and a method for operating the same are provided. The aircraft, for example, may include, but is not limited to, a flight management system, a vertical situation display, and a processor configured to determine a first variable, a second variable and a third variable, determine flight plan data for the first, second and third variables, generate display data for the vertical situation display, the display data including the scale of the first second and third variables and a vector corresponding to the flight plan data of the first variable and second variable scaled to the first scale and the second scale, wherein the scale of the third variable is non-linear and varies based upon the flight plan data corresponding to the third variable relative to the vector, and output the generated display data to the vertical situation display for display on the vertical situation display.
