Design eye

[ASpilot2be]

Does anybody have any good papers on design eye for aircraft cockpits?

Just don't paint it that fugly color that the Russians did to all of theirs.

You mean the same color Doulgas painted the panel on the DC-9?

 

[JK7177]

That's the color of my 88 geo very soothing

That airplane looks ungodly complicated and irrational. I'm sure its an incredible pain in the ass to learn.

The open bladed fans one's hand might encounter enroute to the overhead panel are my favorite.

One of those old Soviet era ships would be really interesting to fly or fly on. Some of those planes require a flight deck crew of 4-6 people...imagine the crew coordination for that! Cubana still operates a few of those large crew planes.

Thats a broad shouldered dude in the left seat. Frankenstein?

And can you imagine the number of lawsuits that would stem from that fan? How many idiot Americans would stick their finger in there just to see if it hurts.

Look at the annunciator panels, they're not even symmetrical

What's up with the little cave on the other side of the panel? Is that the F/E station? Wow! That wouldn't suck!

Down in that cave is the navigators section in front of the panel.

Hey, at least he has a nice view!

I've driven commercial vehicles with unguarded fans like that. The fan blades are a thin, flexible foam rubber material and the fan motors were fairly weak so they'd stop if you put you hand in the way. You have a natural curiosity to put your hand in the fan to see if it hurts! At least it's not as bad as Peter Griffin with the pencil sharpener.

Wow, I didn't even see that when I first looked at it! Crazy Commies!!
