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 Decision Making (MCDM) algorithms are employed as quantitative tools. In order to test whether or not the Decision Maker's (DM) preferences are consistent with a quasi-concave, a quasi-convex and a linear utility function, a combined algorithm is applied. Due to the form of utility function; an algorithm finding the most preferred alternative of DM is used. The aim of this approach is to find an order to locate each indicator to suitable classes. Card Sorting methodology is used as the qualitative research tool for the same problem. Results of these two approaches are compared.

Human factors issues of glass cockpit automation Güneş, Çiğdem; Asatekin, Mehmet; Department of Industrial Design (2010) 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...
Optimal external configuration design of missiles Tanıl, Çağatay; Platin, Bülent Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) The main area of emphasis in this study is to investigate the methods and technology for aerodynamic configuration sizing of missiles and to develop a software platform in MATLAB® environment as a design tool which has an ability of optimizing the external configuration of missiles for a set of flight requirements specified by the user through a graphical user interface. A genetic algorithm based optimization tool is prepared by MATLAB is expected to help the designer to find out the best external geometry ...
Adaptive neural network applications on missile controller design Sağıroğlu, Serkan; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2009) In this thesis, adaptive neural network controllers are designed for a high subsonic cruise missile. Two autopilot designs are included in the study using adaptive neural networks, namely an altitude hold autopilot designed for the longitudinal channel and a directional autopilot designed for heading control. Aerodynamic coefficients are obtained using missile geometry; a 5-Degree of Freedom (5-DOF) simulation model is obtained, and linearized at a single trim condition. An inverted model is used in the con...
Adaptive robust attitude controller design for a quadrotor platform Yilmaz, Emre; Kutay, Ali Türker (2014-01-01) This paper includes attitude controller design ideas for a quadrotor platform which can be regarded as an exceptionally agile flying robot with highly non-linear and unstable features in flight dynamics. The quadrotor poses severe problems in characterizing the dynamics especially when performing high-speed manoeuvres. These facts cause the quadrotor not to lose its popularity as a compelling tool among avid researchers who endeavour to realize various controller ideas. The procedure in this paper is initia...
