E-raamat: Mission Adaptive Display Technologies and Operational Decision Making in Aviation

Authors Smith and Larrieu present students, academics, researchers, and aviation professionals working in a wide variety of contexts with an examination of avionics and the use of adaptive and assistive technologies in aviation. The authors have organized the fifteen chapters that make up the main body of their text in six parts devoted to the air transport mission, conceptual models, challenges and opportunities, solutions and recommendations, their conclusions and recommendations, and additional material covering a wide variety of other related subjects. Kevin M. Smith is an aviator, author, speaker, and retired U.S. Navy captain. St<’e>phane Larrieu is an aerospace consultant. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)

Avionics often serves as the tip of the spear for research into user-interface and systems usability in aviation. However, this emphasis on flashy, technology-driven design can come with a cost: the sacrifice of practical utility, which, in the high-stakes environment of military aviation, can lead directly to catastrophe. Mission Adaptive Display Technologies and Operational Decision Making in Aviation explores the use of adaptive and assistive technologies in aviation to establish clear guidelines for the design and implementation of such technologies to better serve the needs of both military and civilian pilots. Benefiting from the authors’ combined experience of more than 40 years in the aviation industry and over 25,000 flight-hours, this volume targets a wide audience of engineers and business professionals. This premier reference source covers topics of interest to aviators and engineers, including aerodynamic systems design, operational decision theory, user interface design, avionics, and concepts and cases in flight operations, mission performance, and pilot training.
