Abstract

A low-cost display and navigation system for visual guidance information in a 3-dimensional format is presented. The basic constituents of the 3D-display are a tunnel image for presenting the command flight path in a 3-dimensional format and a predictor for indicating the future position of the aircraft at an appropriately selected time ahead. Optionally, an image of the outside world can be displayed in an integrated form. The low-cost 3D-display is directed at an application to small aircraft in order to provide this type of vehicle with improvements for guidance and control. Results from flight tests involving curved and steep approaches are presented for showing the performance of the system.
