Description:
"This is the history of how ergonomically designed civil and military aircraft cockpits and flight decks evolved. Civil aircraft now regularly fly at transonic speeds at around 35,000 feet, and military jets at twice the speed of sound on the edge of space. These are demanding environments. However, modern cockpit technologies, with simplified presentation of flight information and finger-tip controls, have eased the pilot's task."--BOOK JACKET.
