Abstract

A 3-dimensional guidance display based on low-cost elements is described. The low-cost approach which is directed at an application to small aircraft makes use of Commercial-off-the-Shelf components. The 3D-display presents guidance information in a 3-dimensional format, providing the pilot with command and status information not only of the present but also of the future. An image of the outside world can be optionally displayed With an efficient computer software, the 3D-display imagery can be generated at a high update rate using low-cost PC based hardware. A low-cost navigation system is applied to adjust the 3-dimensional guidance information according to the actual position and attitude. Results from simulation experiments and flight tests are presented for validation.
