![]() ![]() Using this technology, the flight path to avoid the obstacles or any turbulence or bad weather can be also displayed on the screen. If an obstacle is detected in the path of the aircraft (both on ground and in air) it is possible to modify the video image by displaying the obstacle using Augmented Reality with warnings to alert the pilot. ![]() The image would be generated from the data supplied by on-board video camera located in the front and the rear of the aircraft.Įxample : When the aircraft is taxiing on the ramp, the screen would display a 3D image of the airport generated from the data captured from the video camera and the data stored in data banks on ground. The digital image would be projected in the form of a hologram or any other advance technology. Airbus also claims that this invention can increase the payload capacity of the aircraft in their patent. This not only gives a better aerodynamic design to the aircraft, but also increases the pilots’ field of view. Since there is no need for the pilot to actually look outside, the entire cockpit can be shifted to another location freeing up space in the front of the fuselage. This invention solves this problem by shifting the cockpit at another location which allows the engineers to modify the shape of the nose. Conventionally, it is located in the front of the fuselage with slanted window panes which allows the pilots to have an unobstructed view of both forward and downward of the aircraft.įor maximum aerodynamic efficient design, the nose of the aircraft should ideally be of lancet shaped (like a knife) but to accommodate the radome and the landing gear, it is modified to give a larger radius of curvature. ![]() The cockpit is the room reserved for pilots comprising of all controls necessary to fly the aircraft. Looking at the bigger picture, this invention is basically replacing the glazed cockpit window with a large screen displaying a digital image of the outside environment. In 2014, Airbus registered a patent featuring the idea of “windowless” cockpit which would increase pilots’ field of view. This may look stupid to many of the readers, but Airbus advocates that it may be the future of aircraft design. You would feel dumbfounded be reluctant to board the aircraft, right? Well, in a few years you may find every Airbus aircraft without cockpit windows. Sorry about that.Imagine that you are boarding an aircraft and you find out that there are no cockpit windows, rather an opaque cone of metal sheet covering the entire cockpit window area. I accidently posted this topic twice when I added a picture. Does anyone have an idea what is causing this? I checked the forums but cannot find anything similar. I did try other add-on aircraft and the 3D cockpits are visible, just not PMDG 747 for some reason. I also checked the FSX menus for the views but no results. ![]() I startted at different gates and at the runway to see if any changes, but all the same results.missing 3D virtual cockpit. I tried to trouble shoot with no results. From the outside, all of the 747 is there and all the other sceney around outside the aircraft is visiable but no cockpit from the inside. The terminal is visiable and all other scenes. But today when I tried it, the Virtual cockpit is missing from inside from all sides. I recently purchased Aerosoft KSFO airport add-on and tried it with a PDMG 747-8. ![]()
