With the advances in technology, clutter of mechanical indicators in the aircraft cockpit is replaced with digital displays. This revolution does not make only visual changes, but also changes the use of the cockpit design. Cockpit automation has changed cockpit design philosophy with many promised benefits such as improvements in the precision, improved system safety, efficiency of operations, less workload etc. However, to achieve perfect design has not been fulfilled yet. Despite providing innovation and easiness, cockpit automation brings about some “Human Factors” problems because of lack of support of human-machine interaction and cooperation. In this study, advantages and disadvantages of the cockpit automation will be discussed according to a survey that is conducted to pilots who fly with automated cockpits in Turkey about how automation affects them. The main purpose of this study is to contribute to the modifications of current cockpit systems and development of new design philosophy for advanced flight decks by gathering data from pilots' attitudes on cockpit automation philosophy.

Evaluation of Cockpit Design by Using Quantitative and Qualitative Tools
Senol, Mehmet Burak; DAĞDEVİREN, METİN; KURT, MUSTAFA; Cilingir, Canan (2009-12-11)
Cockpit displays and the controls are sophisticated human machine interface applications. Display systems, present at cockpits are complex environments causing excessive mental workload and the consequences of errors can be catastrophic. In order to prevent any human error a user-friendly display panel must be designed. In this study quantitative and qualitative approaches are used to evaluate the positions of analogue indicators at front display panel from human factors point of view. Multi Criteria Decisi...
Analysis of a UAV that can Hover and Fly Level
Cakici, Ferit; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (EDP Sciences; 2016-03-14)
In this study, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with level flight, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) and mode-changing capability is analysed. The platform design combines both multirotor and fixed-wing (FW) conventional airplane structures and control surfaces; therefore, named as VTOL-FW. The aircraft is modelled using aerodynamical principles and linear models are constructed utilizing small perturbation theory for trim conditions. The proposed method of control includes implementation of multirotor a...
Suitable utility helicopter cocpit design for Turkish pilots
Şenol, Mehmet Burak; Çilingir, Canan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007)
Designing a suitable utility helicopter cockpit for Turkish pilots is the main theme of this thesis. Helicopter cockpit is one of the ultimate human machine interface application. Consequences of pilot errors during flight in any helicopter cockpit can be catastrophic. Human errors can only be prevented by user-friendly cockpit design. In this thesis, reach compatibilities to controls in the cockpit are evaluated and the suitable positions of analogue indicators at front display panel are examined in order ...
Investigation into adaptive structure in software-embedded products from cybernetic perspective
Yurdakul, E. Ertuğrul; Şener Pedgley, Bahar; Department of Industrial Design (2007)
This study investigates the concept of adaptivity in relation to the evolution of software and hence software embedded products. Whilst laying out the benefits of adaptivity in products, it discusses the potential future threats engendered by the actual change observed in the functionality principles of adaptive products. The discussion is based upon cybernetic theory which defines control technology in the 20th century anew. Accordingly, literature survey on cybernetic theory, evolution of software from co...
Optimal Design of a Miniature Quad Tilt Rotor UAV
Kahvecioglu, Ahmet Caner; Alemdaroglu, Nafiz (2015-06-12)
This paper describes the design procedure of a convertible miniature (mini and micro) quad tilt rotor unmanned air vehicle (UAV), which has about 2 meters of wing span, one hour of mission time and 5 kilograms of total weight. The aircraft is driven by four brushless direct current motors, and the structure of it completely made of composite materials. When the wing and tail of the aircraft are dismounted, it operates as a quad- rotor with tilting rotors. The aircraft is planned to carry a gimbal camera wei...
