A Technical Analysis Of Ergonomics And Human Factors In Modern Flight Deck Design
Beginning of paper
I. Introduction
Since the dawn of the aviation era, cockpit design has become
increasingly complicated owing to the advent of new technologies enabling
aircraft to fly farther and faster more efficiently than ever before. With
greater workloads imposed on pilots as fleets modernize, the reality ....

Liveware-Hardware interface can promote safety and reduce mishap frequency.
II. The History Of Human Factors in Cockpit Design
The history of cockpit design can be traced as far back as the first
balloon flights, where a barometer was used to measure altitude. The Wright
brothers incorporated a string attached to the aircraft to indicate slips and
skids (Hawkins, 241). However, the first real efforts towards human factors
implementation in cockpit design began in the earl ....
