Glass Cockpit
A "Glass Cockpit" is a modern aircraft cockpit design that uses digital displays instead of traditional analog instruments. These displays provide pilots with real-time information about the aircraft's performance, navigation, and systems in a clear and organized manner. This technology enhances situational awareness and reduces pilot workload.
The glass cockpit typically features multi-function displays (MFDs) and primary flight displays (PFDs), which can show various data such as altitude, speed, and heading. This integration of information allows pilots to make quicker decisions and improves overall flight safety. Many commercial and military aircraft, including those from Boeing and Airbus, utilize this advanced cockpit design.
