The cockpit of any aircraft provides the man/machine interface by which the overall effectiveness of the system and aircraft combination may be accessed. One would assume therefore that this interface between the man and machine would be used to specify the control and functional attributes of the systems. This is often said to be the case in current aircraft. However, owing to inconsistences in system design' for example complex systems requiring little control and simple systems requiring extensive monitoring and control, many cockpits are criticised as cluttered and extremely difficult to operate. These initial problems are further compounded by improvements in aircraft equipments and changes in role during an aircraft life, requiring further controls and displays to be installed, these being in far from optimum locations owing to structural and other physical constraints.
