Display panel design of a general utility helicopter by applying quantitative and qualitative approaches

摘要: The flight deck is the ultimate human–machine interface application. It uses human senses of touch and sight in a safety-critical situation. Display systems, present on deck, are complex environments causing excessive mental workload, consequences errors can be catastrophic. To prevent any error, user-friendly display panel must designed. In this research best natural dialog between crew considered while reflecting user perspective to design by applying quantitative qualitative approaches; way, proper positions analogue indicators front determined. Multi-Criteria Decision Making algorithms employed as approach. test whether decision-making preferences consistent with quasi-concave, quasi-convex, linear utility function, combined algorithm applied. Due form an finding most preferred alternative decision making used. aim approach find order which locate each indicator suitable classes. Card-Sorting methodology used for same problem. Results two different approaches compared. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Opinions results article writers' do not reflect official opinion Turkish Armed Forces.
