Title: Advanced aircraft instrumentation and controls
Caption: View of mock-up cockpit, showing a new concept of aircraft instrumentation and controls. The semi-circular screen in front of the pilot, and the round screen directly below are flat-plate television tubes which would comprise the basic instrumentation envisioned by the Long Range Program being conducted by the Office of Naval Research and the Bureau of Aeronautics. A simplified control system is also envisioned, as shown here. The pilot's left hand grasps the throttle and his right hand is on the control stick, which would be the two basic controls.
