Gaugeless, Computerized Cockpits

CriX writes "There's been some work on creating a more intuitive airplane cockpit. The idea is to use graphics and symbols instead of gauges and numbers to enhance a pilot's awareness. The data shows that these are a lot easier to read under turbulence and the information easier to interpret for less experience pilots. Sweet, I love human factors engineering."

Hee hee. So let me get this straight, instead of reading three or four different guages that would tell you you're in trouble, now your instrument panel will project an illustration of a plane crashing in flames?

I mean, I can't wait until I can get into a plane and press 'GO' to take off and fly, and then 'STOP' to land.
God bless the military.
