Figure 13.3 - Virtual Cockpit Model<br />
Utilizing this information the virtual cockpit model shown in Figure 13.3 was generated. The<br />
solid model also took into account the use of an ejection seat, room for instrumentation, controls,<br />
switch placement as well as the above military vision specifications.<br />
Further vision refinement produced rectilinear vision plots as shown in Figure 13.4.<br />
Canopy reinforcing structure was removed from the areas between 25° and 40° up to aide in inflight<br />
refueling vision. Runway vision areas are defined and every effort was made to increase<br />
downward vision to aide in ground handling as well as takeoff and landing.<br />
Takeoff and Landing vision is inherently limited in supersonic aircraft. In an effort to reduce<br />
pilot workload and increase flight ability, multifunction displays (MFD) in modern aircraft can<br />
double as vision aid tools. MFD 1 incorporated into the glare shield and upper instrument panel<br />
