The Glass Cockpit Primary Flight Display (PFD) application illustrates, for educational purposes, how tactile, multi-touch, interactivity concepts are brought into the plane cockpit with a realistic Primary Flight Display. The Glass Cockpit PFD application has been automatically generated from SCADE Suite® and SCADE Display®.
The PFD features the following capabilities:
- Attitude Direction Indicator (ADI)
- Integrated 3D Navigation Tunnel
- Air Speed Scale
- Altitude Scale
- Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)
- Navigation Display Compass (ND)
- Raster Map with Waypoints
- Flight Warning Banners (multi-language)
The virtual plane features an autopilot that computes the speed, altitude and attitude in order to follow a pre-recorded route, represented by red (ahead) and green (behind) waypoints.
Instructions:
- tap the ADI, ND, Horizontal Speed Scale and Altitude Scale to show/hide
- tap the Flight Warning Banners to switch language
- pinch the Raster Map to zoom in/out
- tap the SET buttons (+/-) to set the target altitude, speed, heading and VSI
- drag the logos to move them along the scene
