  • Advanced haptics in touchscreen avionics lower level device simulators
    Patent number: 11455039
    Abstract: An avionics lower level device (LLD) simulator may include at least one touchscreen display device. The at least one touchscreen display device may include a display stack assembly including at least one touchscreen sensor and a display and at least one advanced haptic feedback component positioned proximate to the display stack assembly. The at least one touchscreen display device may be configured to display at least one GUI or GUI icon, the at least one GUI or GUI icon related to an operation of an aircraft, may be configured to provide at least one advanced haptic feedback response following an interaction with the at least one GUI or GUI icon displayed on the at least one touchscreen display device, and may be configured to mimic a physical response observed following an operation of a mechanical component installed within a cockpit of the aircraft.
