Design and Development of a Multifunctional Flight Display System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents the development of a multifunctional flight display system for light-sport aircraft flying. The requirements and design of the system is discussed. It is mainly designed as a backup system for flying rather than a certified flight instrument. An ARM-core embedded system is chosen as the development platform with Linux operation system. The system basically takes advantage of 3-D positioning information from GPS which has been widely used on general aviation aircraft. Its diverse interfaces provide system redundancy with wired or wireless connection to external sensor systems for aircraft attitude, pressure height, and magnetic heading. The proposed flight display system has been developed and running over the embedded system.
