  • Method, apparatus and article to display flight information
    Patent number: 6702229
    Abstract: Flight information is displayed using visual indications that resemble real world visual cues. For example, left and right side attitude displays extend vertically along each side of the windshield and a yaw display extends along a lower edge of the windshield. The attitude displays employ reference indications and outermost indications which track the position of the actual horizon. The yaw display employs outermost indications spaced from a reference indication a distance proportional to the rate of turn. Indexing of indications between the references and the outermost indications provides the appearance of movement representing climb, descent and turns. The rate and direction of indexing may be proportional to the rate and direction of change.
